Potty Training Day 1
Everyone keeps telling me that since Brenden is so verbal, he is probably ready to potty train! Well, after 8 pairs of underwear, 3 sprays of Resolve, 1 load of laundry, and 152 trips to the bathroom...my toilet is still empty! He gave me nothing to work with! One little streamline was all I asked just to be able to praise him and show him what needs to be done...but nothing. We read books, clipped fingernails, sang songs, tickled, ate a snack (I was getting desperate), and even put his hand in a cup of warm water. I tried to get him to drink more, but he wasn't thirsty! I don't think this was a battle of the wills...he just hasn't figured it out yet. I noticed that when he wet his underwear, it was only a little bit...not enough to make him uncomfortable. Well, I am not going to give up after one day, but I hope tomorrow brings some success!

The adventure begins! Potty training is one of the areas of parenting that each of us dreads but are so glad for the pay off. May this journey go well for you both!
