Despite reading several websites, suggestions from pediatricians, and stories of what worked for friends regarding potty training, I've come to the conclusion that it's all dependent on your child being ready and having the motivation/desire to use the potty. My sis and I had a great chat last week about it all, and she was so right...you just have to find what works for your own child.
We've tried gumballs, switched to smarties, promised a trip to Jump Zone, blown bubbles, made up a potty dance, even thrown McDonald's in the mix...but the biggest motivator has been Carter's own desire to be a big boy. As such, I am thankful to report that Monday's "scoreboard" included 4 accidents, Tuesday's only 1, and so far today 0!! That's even with a good nap!
We're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!! Thank you for all of your words of encouragement this week. Please pray that if Carter returns to school, he won't revert to needing pull ups. If I had it my way, he wouldn't return to school, we'd just go ahead and apply for the preschool...but that's another prayer request in itself. :)
I know reading about potty training can't be all that exciting, but thanks for sticking with me and praying us through this week. Your prayers have certainly been felt!
