The one thing that I 'dislike' being a parent, well thus far in our stage of the game is....potty training! I'm so not good at it and it gets the best of me. I try so hard to time myself, so I know when I need to get him to the potty, but seems I fail more times than 1! Now, Colin, has used the potty, knows what to do, and yet still finds his way off the potty and pees in his underwear. UGH!!!!! This weekend, wasn't so good, but he did tinkle on his porta-potty downstairs. I know this all takes time and I think I probably started way to early (when he turned 2) and gave it up about 3-4 mths into it, b/c he wasn't ready. I had to do the same w/ Ethan and he was almost 4, before he was fully potty-trained, so I know this is a process and truly, I'm ok with it I just wish there was a magic wand to finalize the process much quicker =) However, it's moments like this, that I've come to the realization that I truly am done having children. I'm convinced FINALLY that Colin was given to us, to complete our family, and I feel very blessed w/ our boys! Brenton knew....well, when we found out we were pregnant again, that he was done and wanted no other children....me, I wasn't ready to make that decision and opted out of making it 'final' during my c-section and truly, I'm glad I did.....I found that I did need time for my heart and head to come to the same conclusion, I'm finally there! These little guys are starting to keep us hopping and we are finally at a stage where they can go overnight, so Brenton and I get some free time. That is huge and I want to continue that w/ my husband, so we can keep our relationship strong! Overall, as I sit here trying to figure my plan of attack on this potty business, I smile inside, b/c I know that one day I will look back and want them back......ok, maybe not the potty training days.....hahaha!!!
