The one big project on my mind the last little while has been to get Evan potty trained so that he can go to Pre-K in the fall. He just wasn't into it and I went up and down from being positive and motivated to completely frustrated and wanting to just throw my hands in the air. That is how it usually goes though right! It's all about expectations so I tried to lower mine and let him take his time. The only real issue for me is that I don't want him to miss out on Pre-K because of it. Anyway - we have been bumbling through this for weeks now. I've honestly never had this much trouble potty training anyone and certainly never had a kid this old that wasn't. And I'm talking about my own and the daycare kids I've had. I've done this many times. You'd think I'd get it! It's just proof that every kid really is different and unique in how they do things.
All that so that I can update - and remember, when you are in the middle of it, potty training a child is the biggest thing you think about so forgive me for having to share.
Evan has been going to the potty, on his own, ALL DAY! That is MAJOR, MAJOR news around here, believe me! So I'm pretty excited and hopeful. Thank goodness that we finally broke through whatever the barrier was for him. It's a huge relief! I just had to shout it from the cyber- mountaintop!
