calvary versus the potty part 1....

about 8 months ago we mentioned the potty to calvary and he screamed as if we had asked him to sit on a fiery, hot iron lid hovering over a basin of piranhas...



about 4 months ago we mentioned the potty to calvary and he simply stated, "my body doesn't work that way."



about a week ago calvary decided that he wanted to wear "under-way-er" and we let him...unfortunately his body still does not "work that way" and we have had many pairs of underwear to clean....



last week calvary forgot that he had on diaper and not underwear and he sat wiggling at the table until he finally looked at me and said, "peepee coming out" with this huge grin on his face. harper laughed and asked, "does that feel better," to which calvary replied, "mmmmmm warm".



once last week kyle made a ghastly bargain with the boy that resulted in calvary pooping *on* the potty---not *in* the potty...



i decided that we have conquered the final state of readiness--emotional readiness. calvary is finally ready to buckle down and finally be house broken!



so, ready or not, we are going to take the plunge--hopefully not literally. i realized that now the biggest thing holding calvary back is a lack of consistency. we put underwear on him but then we are going to the store so we put on a diaper. in my defense he has just started not screaming at the mere mention of the toilet in the past few months and we have been a little busy the past few months. my hope is that after we apply some consistency calvary will learn quickly...
