I have no idea what to make of it. ;) <br /><br />It is a journey, patience training for parents and kids can do it just fine when they are ready. We'll get there :)Nadjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006253011318328764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198969049157532269.post-23036005786644347092016-05-23T06:33:43.886-07:002016-05-23T06:33:43.886-07:00I love your posts :) I think staying positive is t...I love your posts :) I think staying positive is the best thing you can do :) So glad to hear that other than the poop situation you're doing well!<br />JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918024171163030406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198969049157532269.post-27435555824578871042016-05-21T18:52:21.454-07:002016-05-21T18:52:21.454-07:00I imagine this part of toddlerhood/childhood is d...I imagine this part of toddlerhood/childhood is difficult for the kids. I heard that it just clicks for the cold, and there is nothing we as parents can do. My first went totally trained day and night shortly after his 4th birthday. It was like he finally said "I want big boy underwear all the time". For our second, he's been in big boy underpants since shortly after 2.5 years. He can hold his pee. It sounds like an old man peeing in the morning.

We're working with the teachers a lot on this, but it is hard when you hear others who had zero issue training and/or were out of diapers before age 2.<br /><br />You're absolutely right about staying positive and encouraging the desired behavior. So kids just take a bit longer with this (and boys are harder to train). Glad to hear this week was a good one. May the next one and all the ones afterwards be good too.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198969049157532269.post-70728982146316447032016-03-09T13:39:24.668-08:002016-03-09T13:39:24.668-08:00What a wonderful time.

It was the hardest decision i have had to make..ever in my life. To watch that little heart beat and then the ultrasound showed it had stopped. I felt like the worst mother on earth.

Holy hell! No one prepared me for how freaking HARD it is. I'm also a teacher, so began training once school let out in June (was 25 months) and I would say that it took a solid 3 months aka ALL of summer before I felt that it clicked. And I'm the kind of parent that's all or nothing, so he has in straight undies come June. There were lots (and lots and lots and lots) of accidents and lots of wanting rip my hair out, but here is a word of encouragement from someone who was in the trenches: It WILL click. We're all potty trained, right? :-) Good luck. Also: M&Ms. I'm not into external motivators, but when it comes to PTing bribe the hell out of him. :-)Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519328908094761370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198969049157532269.post-36625724497935669572015-08-28T04:39:32.593-07:002015-08-28T04:39:32.593-07:00That is so awesome!

At times I feel it's not enough and other times I don't know when to fit it in, because so much other stuff could be done instead. But we do what we can, there's only so much down time available each day!BBGallinnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198292283845138755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198969049157532269.post-79154396710534062222015-06-17T09:21:18.617-07:002015-06-17T09:21:18.617-07:00Ugh.

A female surgeon that I used to work with once said to me, "If I'm a man and I'm assertive, I'm just standing up for myself and what I feel is right to be doing. But as a woman, if I'm assertive, I'm just a b*tch."

I know from experience that when a man says the exact same thing as I do, including tone and body language, the response is always more positive. That said, I've also learned to error on the side of bitchy because otherwise the end product causes even more stress.<br /><br />Good luck with house hunting and preschool selection!Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198969049157532269.post-65758141821984901282015-06-04T11:06:04.455-07:002015-06-04T11:06:04.455-07:00I don't know why I missed this when you first ...I don't know why I missed this when you first posted... but I'm so glad for this news.
