corner view "holiday"
The days have been very very grey and very very cold. I have been in kind of a funk the last couple of weeks. Recovering from being sick, trying to potty train an almost 3 year old, and I started a diet after realizing I was beyond just curvy. I guess that is why I am looking forward to the next holiday-Valentines! Well the good news is that I am no longer sick! I have lost 3 pounds since last Thursday!!!! However, the potty training isn't going so well. He just doesn't want to go. He knows how, but will not go. Today I thought I would buy him some big boy underwear. We came home from the store. He put them on and within two minutes he pooped in them. Ugh! He also doesn't seemed to be motivated by candy or a sticker.

Oops almost forgot all my best on your new eating adventures and glad you are feelingn better.
Have a nice day !
And, how we say in France : Bon courage !
Best of luck with all the rest!
As far as potty training goes, you have my sympathy. :) One of my friends had her child pick a bigger toy out at the store, something they really wanted. She put it up high where they couldn't get to it, but there they could see it. When they achieved whatever goal was set, they got the big prize. It's hard, because every child is so different, you never know what's going to work! good luck!!
The girls were much easier to potty train.
Good luck!
Good luck, I remember with all some of the stages to 'pass thru' like weaning, potty training, that the thing that worked best with my daughter was realizing she'd do it when the time was right and eventually she did!!!
all the best,
Re potty training, it was hard for both my children but persevarance usually triumphs. Poop today, gone tomorrow. :-)

I don't look forward to potty training but I tend to think they'll come around when they are ready.
Don't stress, it will happen.
my daughter WANTED to go potty and was trained early. my son, of course, is not so into being a big kid. lots of patience and lots of changing the poop/pee pants.
sending hugs. he'll do it.
My dad was always big on the fear appeal when giving us a challenge. "You don't want to be the ONLY kid still wearing diapers/using the bathroom in your pants, do you?!" Good luck!
