Inspired by one of his good friends, James asked if he could wear big boy underpants last Thursday. So we decided that it was time. Time to enter potty training hell. Really, there is not much I despise more then cleaning up nastiness off our floors. Thank goodness they are hardwood and not carpet.
James has been trying so hard. We have had a lot of successes and a few really gross failures. Let's just say we are making big improvements each day, but each day brings about some new challenges.
Tricks for Potty Training Success (by James)
1. Even though I love Jay Jay the jet plane and Thomas the train, I do not want them on my backside. Cars or any generic pattern will do just fine.
2. I will say I don't want to sit on the potty until you remind me I get an M and M. Then suddenly I will want to go.
3. I will baffle you because I can stay dry all through the night and naptime, but then need to go three times in one hour.
4. Just when you think you have everything figured out I will surprise you.
5. Because I am no longer wearing diapers I can still wear last summers shorts. Which means Luke and I get to share a summer wardrobe.
6. Don't worry Mom. I'll figure this out before I get to college.

I'm chuckling at your post. It is so cute. He is doing great!
I would have paid someone a large sum of money to potty train my children, especially PETE!
