Day 1 of Operation Quit Crapping Your Pants

Before having an almost 3 year old boy, I sat upon my high and mighty pedestal of inexperience and I swore up and down that I wouldn't have a preschooler who was still hanging onto the diaper lifestyle. I talked down about parents who didn't have their kids potty trained by this age. I was completely judgmental of this whole process and would snidely proclaim that I would never be THAT mom.

Well, I have been firmly knocked off my pedestal and my own judgments have been hitting me in the head for months now. My son will be 3 at the end of the month and he is NOT potty trained. But, I'm hoping to change that.
I downloaded a highly recommended e-book. http://www.3daypottytraining.com/
I have fully committed to this program, which meant this morning Max and I threw away the rest of our diapers (I only had like 6 left, so I didn't feel like I was flushing a ton of money down the drain). We had a good day in terms of attitude but we had absolutely no success. Supposedly that is common and I am trying not to get discouraged.

Hopefully, by the end of this weekend, we will have a little boy who is fully potty trained (including night time, right now he is in his bed with no diaper, eeekkk!). I'll let you know tomorrow how we are faring, right now I am going to go shower, I smell like little boy pee.
