The dregs of parenting...
Today kicks off my first day of potty training Jack. I despise potty training. I loathe potty training. If there was a boot camp, where I could ship my kid off in diapers and he'd return in 2 weeks with underoos on, I'd totally pay for it! Alas, here I am: up to my ankles in soiled underoos (I know I'm going to call them panties by the end of the day) and Jack has yet to successfully pee or poop in the toilet. I take him to the toilet every hour and have him sit and try. It never happens until I've got him dressed again. He's a good boy, I think he's just totally unaware. He gets an M&M every attempt on the toilet so he's totally game. So this is where I'll be for the next week. Hopefully we'll see some success as the week progresses.

Hats off to you, because I'm not even trying. Calvin doesn't care. At all. He will wear a poopy diaper until he has no skin left. Several months ago, I thought I'd stick him in underwear just to see what he did when he had an "accident." But he didn't even seem to notice. The only way I found out was because I stepped in a wet spot on the floor! Maybe we'll try again when he's 3?
Good luck to you! Sophie's staying in diapers until she asks to go potty. Blah. I'm with you. Potty training is no fun.
I despise potty training. Today Joey was trying to put on a pair of Jake's underwear over his pants (probably because it had Leo from Little Einsteins on it and that is his favorite) and it reminded me that I have that chore coming up in the next year or so--not looking forward to it. Good luck!
