Potty training...on hold

Brian recently pulled the Max's Potty book off the shelf to read to Carter in hopes of sparking some interest in "going potty."

The experience led him to the conclusion that it might be best to put potty training on hold.
You see, Max's Potty is a lift-the-flap book that goes something like, "Who sits on the potty? Does a monkey sit on the potty?" Lift the flap. "No, a monkey doesn't sit on the potty!" "Does an elephant sit on the potty?" Lift the flap. "No, silly! An elephant doesn't sit on the potty. He's too big!" You get the point. Eventually Max sits on the potty, etc. On the last page there is a picture of Max with the words, "Max is a big boy now. Look what Max is wearing (big boy underwear)!"
This is when Carter lifted both arms in victory and screamed excitedly, "A shirt!"

  1. I feel your frustration with the potty training. This morning, Kaelyn announced from her bed that she had a poop in her diaper, which you know is much better than sticking her hands in it! Anyway, I praised her for calling me and not sticking her hands in her diaper again, and she proudly said, "I potty-training, Mama!" So, in her mind, leaving the poop alone in her diaper is potty-training?!? We've got a looong way to go, I'm afraid.
