Potty Training Begins...

We are determined to have Grady potty trained before his new little brother arrives in November! This is not because we feel pressured to do so, but because we don't want to deal with two little people in diapers at the same time. We've been talking about the potty with him for weeks now (actually months) and are finally ready to take on the potty training challenge full force this weekend. Grady loves sitting on the potty, but for some reason won't do anything on it! Then he thinks he should get an M&M....he gets quite upset when he realizes he only gets one if he makes a "deposit" so to speak. he he.... We went out today and bought pull-ups and even some "big boy underwear." I tried to make a big deal of it to him so he would get excited about the prospect....but instead he took one look at the package and threw it as hard as he could on the floor. We definitely have our work cut out for us! When we got home, he told me he wanted to go to the potty, so I of course sat him there, but again he did nothing except try to unravel the entire roll of toilet paper (which is why it's not in the picture). I went to capture the moment on camera (thinking one day we'd look back fondly on him learning), and he got very mad at me and yelled "NO WAY!" a hundred times. Guess he likes his privacy. :) Tomorrow we will start "Potty Bootcamp," which is supposed to potty train toddlers in 2-3 days (aside from at night). We'll report back on Monday! :)
