She still shows absolutely no interest in her potty, wearing big girl underwear or anything to do with potty training and cares not how soggy her diaper is. She was a very late walker and is still way behind with gross motor skills so I expected we would be later than some to get to potty training but I did not think I would now still be buying diapers. She has to be potty trained to go to preschool this fall, so this summer is going to be make or break time in our house. So thank you for this post, making me laugh about it and making me feel I am not the only one out here in this situation!One Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793386254564806126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112206767756851239.post-56560188029755319412010-05-16T17:47:55.692-04:002010-05-16T17:47:55.692-04:00I cannot wait until everyone wipes their own asses...I cannot wait until everyone wipes their own asses here.

We're in the middle of potty training Big Boy right now and the process epitomizes everything I love about being a mom and everything that challenges me: getting to see that pride on their faces, but also seeing their willfulness and their sadness when they know they haven't done what we want them to. <br /><br />I will have to keep these wise words in mind: "But, if you encounter the difficult but worthwhile with a lust for life, then the whole journey is a little more enjoyable, even more worthwhile."

If he knew to go in the corner, he knew enough to get oin the darn toilet! A slow beginner but now, who knew?, I can't get him out of the bathroom, especially when there are chores to be done!Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112206767756851239.post-951836778177881442010-05-16T12:40:49.935-04:002010-05-16T12:40:49.935-04:00I loved this, and I can relate quite a bit.

I would ask every so often, then let it go for a while...till finally I just decided I was SICK of holding him down to try and change his diaper (since, even though he didn't want to use the potty, he also hated having his diaper changed). <br /><br />Anyway. I completely understand.

He still has accidents on a daily basis, but I refuse to stop now because well, he's 4. It's embarrassing that he's not potty-trained already. I mean, I have a 6 year old, I should KNOW how to do this. So I understand. But like I keep telling myself, it will come.<br /><br />Unfortunately, though, I also have a daughter who will turn 2 in a couple of months and soon after that I'll be potty-training her. It never ends.C (Kid Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11368089264101791146noreply@blogger.com
