Potty Training Hell..

OK so let's be truthful! Potty training is awful! We are day 3 into it and I just want to go buy diapers! It isn't Titus fault that it is so awful its mine! Every time I give him an extra minute or we do a quick potty break instead of letting him sit there he has an accident. I found myself literally wanting to cry because I have created this mess that is potty training. We started potty training Titus way back when he was 6 months old and he was getting it! THEN, I got pregnant, changed my hours at work, and just got lazy about it. Guys early potty training is the way to go! If you try it keep it up! I now wish I had! Anyways, so now here we are potty training full time. I mean even bedtime! NO DIAPERS...cold turkey people! Cold turkey... ************************************************************************************************************************************ This post has taken me all week to write. We are making slow process. However, that 15min alarm drives me crazy now, but Titus hears it and runs right to the bathroom. He has started waking up dry and has even started to tell me. (not often, but he does) I have moments every sec. of the day where I want to go buy diapers and just through in the towels. BUT, I don't. I remind myself that have come a long way already and it would be a waste to give up. Also, and this is vital! Don't let the potty training rob you of the joy that your children are. Oh man, guys! I let it get to me more than once. Sigh...and it bothers me so! It is only a season I remind myself and then I hug Titus. I have read a few blogs on potty training and quite frankly they have good ideas but I just can't do them. If Amelia wasn't still nursing then maybe the "one day method" would work, or wait till he's "ready" my budget doesn't have time for that either. Let's be real people. Diapers/pull ups are expensive! I'm done buying them $10.00 a week may not seem like alot for your budget, but it is form mine. (Titus, out grew his cloth diapers.) Amelia is still very easy to use cloth so not buying any diapers for a time would be fantastic! :) I can do $10.00 a month for diapers. ( We use them on Amelia when we travel) Right I can justify that. :) So, think of me as we potty train Titus. Its just a season...its just a season!
