Yesterday was a really good day in the potty training arena. Dustin stayed dry all day, except naps. It appears he is more likely to use the potty once an hour. More frequently, he refuses to go and less frequently, he uses the diaper. With stickers as an incentive, we have gone through a lot of stickers. He favorite places to stick them are his body parts, on Mama, on the floor and in the toilet. For some reason, peeing on stickers is the most fun, but DZ has decided that putting them on his penis is not.
Now, that I have relaxed about potty training, we seem to be making more progress. If I insist, he refuses to go. He would even pee next to the potty just to show me who is in charge. The consistency of it all is working the best. Repetition, repetition. I have not managed to get him to tell he has to use the potty and that is frustrating because it is sometimes hit or miss with the timing.
The day my son come to me and says, “Mommy, I have to potty,” I will probably jump for joy and smother him with kisses, hugs and maybe even buy him a pony. My first instinct was to say I would give him a car, but I have to save that for some other awesome accomplishment. To be honest, right now I cannot think of anything more awesome than no longer having to use diapers.
Have you discovered anything more exciting as a parent, than your child using a potty? Please share, I would love to know what I have to look forward to.

First off: I effing miss you. I am hoping we can get together soon. Second: GO DUSTIN! I am not consistant at allllll which is probably why Hudson has NEVER gone on the potty. Sure, he sits there sometimes fully clothed. He flushes. He does not actually ever go. I fail. Send me tips. Or better yet- I’d like an in person seminar!
