I cannot believe all the hoopla involved in Potty Party Day! What a concept–I had never heard of it, but will do a little research next time I have to do any potty training…(which by the way is my absolute least favorite part of parenting thus far…)

You were braver than I with scrubbing poop out of undies. I just threw them away! (I don’t know how the cloth diaper families do it!)

Way to go! A blizzard was a nice way for you to celebrate…but a margarita works too, right?

I have compared potty training to pregnancy….you hope the pain and trauma will ease, but know it will take a LONG time (just long enough for you to embark on it with your next kid!).
Love the line about being as proud of him now as when he graduates from college–Congratulations again, Katie. And know that he’ll never remember the power struggles so the PTSD is all for you!
Love you!

We did the cold turkey underwear thing and chucked the diapers in the trash. Peyton did really well for a week or so and then started having 5, 6, 10 accidents a day. We were persistent and after about a month she was good. She too hated that wet feeling and when she had an accident we made her stand in her wet drawers while we slowly cleaned up! She’s been potty trained for over a year and still has the occasional accident (she gets so busy she just can’t slow down to go pee!) She just starting wearing her underwear to bed because she never wakes up at night. It’s definitely a long process for some kids. My niece woke up one day and said she wanted to wear big girl underwear and NEVER had an accident…dirty rotten kid :)
