Growin' Up

My little man is over 3 years old. I must admit that I have been terrified to potty train this child. The potty training experience with child number one was . . . awful. In pretty much every sense of the word, awful. So, naturally the thought of trying to train my 'free thinking, can't tell me what to do, I live life my own way' child was beyond my capacity for quite some time. Life has been crazy and completely out of whack for several months, so when things finally settled down a bit 2 weeks ago I decided it was time to bite the bullet and face my fears. I decided to do things differently this time and actually read something on the subject before starting. After reading several great reviews on 3daypottytraining.com I decided to look into it. I didn't follow the instructions precisely (as in, I didn't follow him around for 3 days straight), so it took slightly longer than the promised 3 days, but overall the experience was completely different than it was with my first son and almost even fun. I so wish I could rewind a couple years and do things differently with #1, but thank goodness he's loving and forgiving. I can't believe both my boys are out of diapers! I almost don't know what to do with myself . . .
He's so proud of himself and likes to tell everyone about his accomplishment!
