Potty Training NIGHTMARES.....

You know how they say that God only gives you as much as you can handle......I now know why out of my 2 boys, we only have to potty train one of them.......Sweet Jesus, Mary and Joseph this is a nightmare!!!!

We are currently going on a month of Potty Training..... When I tell you that we have tried everything, I'm not kidding:

1.  We took the Pull Ups away- cold turkey.  Jordan woke up one morning and they were gone.  No more I told him, no more he said.  This was the beginning of the end!  :(

2.  We went to Target and bought him big boy underwear.  Well, I have been to Target every week since then to buy more.  My local Target will see a Year On Year sales increase in their boys underwear department thanks to Jordan's accidents.....ugh!

3.  I told him not to go potty on his character themed underwear.  Jordan, "Don't go pee or kha kha on Spiderman's face, Spiderman will cry."  Poor Spiderman, Mater, Lighting McQueen, Thomas the Train, Yo Gabba Gabba they have all had their share of accidents. 

4.  We came up with a "poop" song!  He sings it but it has meant nothing.....

5.  I resorted to bribes.  We have a "treasure chest" that he can go in and get a prize after going potty.  That lasted one whole day.....

6.  I resorted to bigger bribes.....Tonka trucks, Monster Trucks, things from the Cars movie. 

7.  I downloaded a potty book for $37.  It told me to be patient, persistent and consistent.....gee, thanks for the brilliant insight. }:-(

8.  He has walked around naked.....the other day he ate his breakfast sitting on a plastic bag in the nude.  Jim walked by and told me that if the Health Department came by we would be fined for being un-sanitary!  Whatever!!!!!!

I thought I was getting the brunt of the accidents but the best was one day when I pulled up in the driveway after work and a pair of Jordan's pants and underwear were out there......puzzled.... I went to pick them up and Jim comes flying out the garage door, "Don't touch those", he says.  He literally put on a haz mat suit to throw them away!  OY VEH! 

This weekend was full on Potty Training Boot Camp, take no prisoners!!!  Only one mishap, we cleaned up Lake Pee-Erie in the living room earlier today.  I See the Light!!!!   :)
