Potty training. It scares the bijeebees out of me. I have been putting it off and putting it off, trying to convince myself that Little Leonard just isn't ready for it. However, the reality is, he is ready; it's me who is not.
In theory, I am all set. I have a Lightning McQueen potty chair, a potty chart, stickers for rewards and big boy underwear with all his favorite things on them. I've asked around, gotten as much advice as any one woman needs, it's just a matter of doing at this point. Yet, I am still paralyzed with fear. I am trying to convince myself it can't be much different or harder than house training my dogs. Still, that is not enough to make me take the plunge.
So here it is...I am committing myself to start on Monday. I'll follow up with you, my 4 devoted readers and keep you posted along the way.
Who knows, it could make for some interesting reading.

I wish you luck!!!!
I raised 3 sons and I did not start until they were closer to 3! I tried with John a little earlier and it was too much of a mess, so I talked to the doctor and he said that boys are not as fast on catching on as girls. So, the next two I just did not even try until closer to 3 and it was really fast! But, we did not have a
McQueen potty chair, that sounds very cool! :)
Have fun! you definitely need to keep us updated on that. every messy detail!
Good luck!! I am totally terrified of that time, too. I think I'll line the whole house with newspapers and then start ;) Good luck, and let us know how it goes!!
Good luck! I'll be pulling for you!
You'll laugh at this post someday. I honestly can't remember anything about potty training my kids if that tells you anything! You got a lot more than 4 devoted readers. There's readers who are just stingy with comments.
Just don't get excited if something unexpected happens. Make sure your car is lines with a picnic tablecloth upside down (shiny side down so that NOTHING lands on your real seats.
OH so this is what your posts on FB are about. Unfortunately, even if I follow your blog, I don't get updates. I wonder if you could add me to the email list? This way, I will get an email alert every time you post a new blog? I would like to be your 5th reader.
