oh. my. word.
there was poop everywhere a couple hours ago....
That just about made me puke. SO GROSS.
It was like cleaning after a dog, except it was Seth's. And of course he tried to "clean himself up" and now one of my white handtowels is in the wash.
(sigh)
Its only been 4 days.... when can I wave the white flag and just admit that he isn't ready for Potty Training? Its just my gut feeling that he isn't ready yet. He is now in diapers, and maybe I'll try again later this summer, but definitely again when he turns 3 in Sept.
But to make it all better, a couple hours later~ Guess who said "I love you" for the first time to his mommy today, unpromted?

Good luck on the potty training. I think you are smart to just wait if he doesn't seem ready, especially with a new baby on the way. Believe me, you will not want to deal with that with a newborn. My son turned this this past Oct. and we potty trained in June. It's much easier in the summer anyway. Also, because he was 32 months, he was potty trained in 3 days. I just don't have the patience to drag the whole thing out. He was even dry through the night within a month. There's plenty of time for potty training!
We had a poopy disaster tonight too :( Ugh.
Personally we're waiting on the P.T.ing until after the new baby. I'm afraid of any regressive behavior like I've heard of before and I also don't want to deal with it for awhile.
I guess I don't know the "readiness signs" Seth was showing but I vote trying again in a few months. We're just going with potty familiarization right now...if he wants to try he can, if not no big whoop. He's always in a diaper still.
Oh sorry about the potty training... Summer sounds like a great idea, at least then its warm enough you can let him run around nekkid if you so choose LOL (i did it, it worked!)
Love the new kit, now if it would just snow here!! GRRR instead of ice that is...
Andrea,
We decided to start potty training DS last weekend. (I'm a BBC Sept04 mom) It went great day 1. Day 2 started down hill. Day 3, disaster. We have decided to wait! When I read your blog, I could totally relate! I LOVE to pop in here from time to time beacuse I love your photos and craft ideas and of course your scrapbooking stuff. I am not a digi scrapper, but your stuff is so cute that it is inspiring me to want to try! :) Anyway, good luck if you keep on with the potty! :)

You know what? The potty training thing just isn't worth the stress. When he's ready, he'll let you know, and there won't be drama. ((Hugs!)) That's all a pregnant mama needs...to be cleaning up poop! Eww!
Your winter's grace kit is gorgeous, btw! I am totally loving it!
Yuck, yuck, YUCK!!! Poop everywhere, huh!?!? We tried the whole potty training thing with Christian a couple of times. He would do good for a day or 2, then not at all. Believe it or not, he just woke up one day ready to change! That easy. He's never looked back since. I almost think it's more of a mental thing with them, ya know? He'll let you know when he's ready. Cleaning up poop is NOT fun for a pregnant mommy either! LOL...
yuck! When Natalie was just over 2, she seemed ready. Or so I thought. We had poopy disasters ALL of the time. I had to use packing tape to keep her diapers on, lol! Well, we took a brake and waited until she was 2 1/2 to try again. And it seems to be clicking now. I think you will be fine waiting. I promise, it will happen :)
Dont worry too much about the potty training.. before you know it, it will be all over and you will be surprised how easy it really was. :o) Just give him a bit of time it will come naturally. I have been through two already so I know. :o)
I bought the Baby Girl Mine kit. I have been wanting that one for a long time. Very pretty. :o) Thanks for the sale.
Have a great weekend.

Sorry it is such a pain with the potty training! We are just starting....but she has been asking to sit on the potty - haven't even bought the pull ups yet! What a great retirement sale...I went a little crazy and bought 7 of the kits. I usually wait and find the right pics but I couldn't choose and since they were going away (my exccuse to DH)
Hi, Andrea. I enjoy reading your blog each day, and I hope the potty training experience improves for little Seth.
I absolutely love the font that you use for your blog banner and your copyright on your photos. Did you create that font? Is it for sale?
You've been [url=http://melanielemonyr.blogspot.com/2007/01/ive-been-tagged.html]tagged[/url], girl! ;) Just in case you needed something else to do! lol...
Okay...so my coding didn't work!! LOL... I'M TAGGING YOU!!! Check out my blog entry for today (Sunday!)
I agree about waiting until he's ready - you'll just drive both of you crazy trying to force it!
PT'ing.
I haven't even tried. My son Lucas is the same age as Seth (I saw your blog on the Babycenter board).
He doesn't seem ready, and I'm not ready for the process it takes.
I'm thinking this summer, right before he turns 3.
He really wants to go to school, like big sister, but he can't go unless he's pt'ed. So, we'll see what happens.
