I am so OVER potty training.

It's only day one and I'm just like whatever about the whole thing. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't care if the kid stayed in diapers until he was 10 at this point BUT the whole reason I'm doing this is because he can't go to preschool in the fall unless he's potty trained...and I figured that it'd be better to get him acclimated now versus after the baby is born...I didn't want to deal with the regression...but seriously. This blows. Hardcore.

I don't know if Ayris was just a genius or what but I potty trained her a little earlier than I am Asher and she had two accidents. TWO. That's it. All it took was her peeing in her underwear twice and she was over it. She's never even wet the bed. I'll be dam*ed if I'm letting Asher wear underwear to bed tonight. I'll continue trying to train him during the day but no way am I washing full size bedding and making the bottom bunk bed daily until he decides to learn how to hold his pee.

I'm already failing at trying to implement this woman's 3 day plan...like the part where I'm not supposed to get irritated/frustrated. Well, sorry, but it's really hard to not get annoyed when this child has now peed through 9 pairs of underwear and went poop in another. It's like he's not even trying! And each time he does it, we have this conversation about trying to tell Mommy the NEXT time he has to pee. He always says okay but does he do it? No, he just keeps peeing on himself. And he's not even holding it...I mean, until there is a sufficient amount anyway...which is a plus since he's peeing all over the house...at least it's not A LOT but that's besides the point. I just don't see how the concept is that hard. He knows how to pee in the potty...he's been doing it on and off since he was about 15 months old when I just tried sitting him on the toilet.

Anyway, I'm over caring at this point. I'm going to start rocking potty training like we're living on the blue lagoon. As I was peeing for the 20th time today myself, I was wishing we were just on some island so he could run around naked and just pee wherever. So this is what my child/children (Of course Ayris can not be left out of the festivities...and any chance to get naked is at the top of her to do list) look like currently:

I decided to move all of this peeing in the potty fun downstairs to his frog potty. The 3 day book said to keep taking him to the toilet...well that's super cool and all but he can't climb onto it himself and it's ALL THE WAY UPSTAIRS. And I'm over climbing stairs for today...until bedtime that is...then I will willingly run my children up there and put them to bed. Since he has been stripped down naked and allowed access to his frog, he has peed in it twice already. So hopefully we're going to turn over a new leaf here.

At this rate, baby number three (since it is a BOY) will be training right along with baby number 4 (if it is a girl) because its obvious that girls are a little more advanced when it comes to "getting things" the first time around. Sorry Chris...you were obviously a rockstar genius...being potty trained at 18 months and all. Course I was potty trained by 18 months too...but it's definitely more of a success story when coming from a boy. You should even consider posting that as your facebook status...that's something to be majorly proud of...you were obviously WAY ahead of the game.
