· May 29th--I need some advice. Luke is almost 3 1/2 and really has no
interest. I've signed him up for school this summer and he has to be potty
trained. I've got a few weeks. Today I've done the whole naked from the waist
down (refuses to put on underwear),
haven't
left the house, set the timer for every 30 min, etc. For the most part
he's
gone willingly to try on the potty, but has never gone. Today from
6:30am-5:30pm (when we had to leave for Carson's swim lesson) he had go
zero times in the toilet and seven times on the floor. You can't
bribe this kid. He doesn't care about treats or anything. Should I just
keep
doing what I am doing and hope one of his peeing times coincides with
when he
is on the toilet and he'll make the connection?? I hate potty training. I
hope
Kendall is easier. Advice, tips please!

May 30th--For any who are
wondering potty training day #2 was a disaster as well. I wasn't sure on day
one if he got it at all and learned on day two that he does. He repeatedly peed
on the floor right after sitting on the potty including all over my legs, a
chair, and perfectly into the hungry hungry hippo game. Once while distracted
with the laptop he started to pee in the toilet, then realized what he did and stopped mid-stream screaming and crying because he
didn't want to. He proceeded to get up and pee in the closet. ARE YOU KIDDING
ME?! Have you ever heard of such a stubborn kid? We should have known it would
be like this. Luke does not like to be forced into ANYTHING. Example: kicking
him out of his crib into a big boy bed. It was 4 months of screaming, waking
throughout the night and always a 4-5am wake-up call. We finally bought a
second crib and things are better. 4 months people, and all this going on with
a newborn. I am not one to back down and neither is he. I fear that this is
going to be a long 50-60 years of life...
