Potty Training

A couple of weeks ago I had the crazy idea to try and start potty training Wyatt.  I ended up with one of the biggest messes I have ever had that resulted in lots of laundry and a bath.  I was about to give up when he decided to go on his own.

At first he was really excited about the candy corns and M&Ms he got, but that wore off pretty quick.  I have to make him go and he screams and fights it every time.  I was about to give up again because I didn't think he understood when he needed to go, but the next day while we were out he told me when he needed to go and kept his pull up dry all day. 

He was doing so well that I let him earn this bowling set.  I think it was more that I wanted the kids to have something to play with.  It was last Friday and we had been busy all week and with Keith gone I just didn't have it in me to go anywhere so we stayed home all day.  I give him the bowling set and he peed on the floor while he was playing it.  I guess I jumped the gun on the potty prize.  He is doing pretty well.  It is just a battle of wills now.  He loves to go to the bathroom when we are out, but he hates doing it at home.  He is working toward a bubble machine now so hopefully that will motivate him. I forgot what a pain potty training is.
