To Potty or Not to Potty?

That is the question.

And the answer seems to be a resounding, "NO!"

Jon is gone with the big kids to Alabama for the weekend, helping some friends move to NC. Since Popcorn is as good as absent if I let him play video games, I thought I would take advantage of the one-on-one time with Sinatra.

It took 20 min. to cajole him into his training underwear--bad start. Then he was happy to slug down two cups of Gatorade and a cup of apple juice. Then...the refusal: no sitting on the potty: doesn't want to, won't do it, not for candy, not for juice, not for a story book, just not.

Finally, I put him back in his baby diaper. He threw a fit. He's in between worlds at the moment. Baby/big boy. He's naked from the waist down and still refuses to sit on the potty.

Pray for me and send lots of dark chocolate!

I'll update later.

***Update***
He peed on his brother who was sitting in the direct path then agreed to put on a baby diaper. I guess it just wasn't time. We'll try again before the new baby comes.

pardon the laughter. I am sure I will find less joy in the peeing on brother imagery when I have kids someday!

Oh Errie Berry
I was laughing out loud! Feel so sorry for you, but know that we have all gone through this too. Just keep this in mind-one year from now this will all be a distant memory.
