I finally felt this week that the time was right to potty train Jake. So, I am sure some people think I am a slacker for waiting so long. After the ordeal of potting training Olivia, I decided I wouldn't do it again until my kids are three-ish. Jake will be three next week, so the time has arrived.
The first day was a nightmare. I just about gave up. He only made it twice. There was crying. Some by me. Jacob rolled himself up in the fetal position and cried himself to sleep "no potty, no potty mommy!" I decided to give it a second day before I called it quits and it went much better. Today was day three. I ventured out of the house. Only one oops today (and this was on Zane's shift).
The upside for waiting until my kids are three...well at least when Olivia and Zach were concerned...is that once they were potty trained, they were 100% potty trained. No accidents. None. Not ever.
Don't disappoint me Jacob.
I would have loved to post some cute pics of Jacob sitting on the potty and wearing his big boy pants, but there are too many pervs out there. My blog isn't private. So we will have to settle with the picture of Jacob pretending to go to school with Zach's school stuff.

All of my kids have been at least 3. And we haven't had accidents, either. I'm a firm believer that if they are ready, they are ready 100%. I have friends who brag about potty training at two but then their kids have accidents for a year and a half. And I had to learn that the hard way with a 2 year old who started stuttering until I put a diaper back on him.
Couldn't agree more. But you will think I'm an even bigger slacker when I tell you...I don't even potty train! But hey, its coming from the same chick whose kids still have binkys in kindergarten. Yup! You heard right. And guess doesn't give a rats butt? It all works itself out:)(quoting phyllis...my mom)
