Potty Training Thatcher

There is no doubt about it-Thatcher Reid is one strong willed child. He will let you know if he is not wanting to do something, like nobody's business. So once he approached the 3 year mark, I knew it was time to just go ahead and get this potty training thing done. I was definitely not looking forward to it! And he was very articulate that he was not wanting to do it either as he often states "I just wear diapers." But our pediatrician let me know he would more than likely never voluntarily want to initiate this process. So I purchased a new potty, a bag of candy and prayed. The first few days he just held it until nap. At this point, a couple weeks later he has some successes and many accidents. I just keep telling myself, "this is the last one!" Eric and I have changed diapers for nearly 8 years now. That is amazing! He will get it.
