After pushing this off for quite awhile, I decided to tackle potty training with Aiden...on Thanksgiving weekend. I feel like I was talked into it by: (1) Erica, who believed I was waiting too long and he would be too old and "untrainable" if I waited any longer and (2) my mom, who was conveniently going to be out of town that weekend. The first 2 days were the worst I have ever been through as a parent. Saying I hated it is an understatement, it was pure hell. But, I realized it was because I made it that way. I was a freak of nature about the possibility of my kid peeing his pants??!! Who cares, clean it up and move on! Since the day we stopped using diapers, the poor guy has had only 3 accidents. He loves to pee and poop in the potty! That's not to say that he isn't addicted to Dora, Diego and/or a "special surprise" each time he goes to the potty!
