Gratituesday...Let's do the Potty Dance!!

Tinkle, tinkle, little tot
Sitting there upon the pot.
Any second now, you'll see ...
Sprinkle, splash and you'll go pee!

Today, I am especially grateful, and proud to say, my little boy is finally potty trained!! Woo Hoo!! I thought this day would never come! He sure is strong willed, that little boy, and he went at his own pace. But when he was ready, there was no turning back. Through this experience, as frustrating as it may have become at times, I prayed that I was strengthened with patience and perseverance.
It's bitter sweet... my oldest has her first loose tooth, and now my baby goes on the potty and it's off to preschool two mornings a week in the fall. I'm so happy they're growing and developing, yet another page has quickly turned in our journey as parents. If I could only figure out a way to slow down these years...

  1. I had the same kind of experience with all of my boys. Isn't it funny how one day they just decide they're not going to wear pull-ups anymore? Way to go to both of you!

  2. Yipee! My guy was a nightmare to train... mostly because I was ready way before he was. :) He decided 2 weeks after his third birthday that he was ready, and that was that.

    These days he thrills at showing us his DRY pull-up in the mornings! We're about 80% of the time now, so we're about to ditch them, too!

  3. Hooray!!! It is such a huge step.

    I still have twins in pullups and am patiently waiting to be done with with all of that mess!
