Potty training 101

The world of toilet training is an unusual aspect of being parents. I don't know if I can handle all of the fluctuations it has to offer. Elijah is 26 months and we think he is long overdue for his course in Potty Training 101. He understands and from time to time he will ask to use it. No prompting just the occasional thrill of it. I guess.. So, it is time to not be the occasional toilet user anymore. We are heading for the real thing! Today was a semi successful day. No crap! He started out so good the first half of the day then there it was smells and all. He had poop in his under roo's. What an awful thing to wittiness and have to clean up. It was not the ordinary beauty of wipe and go. No, this was an new beast and might I add a messy one!I was just thinking that once I was going to use the good old fashion diapers, Thank God I did not go through with purchasing them. Would have been a total waste of money! Anyways, he then sat on the potty and went. No problems, No hesitations. I don't get it. I will continue to give this my all and all. Till diapers do us part. I will update later. Deal or No deal that is the question!?!
