1. Just because your child was easy...and your second child was easy...don't assume you have potty training figured out on your third one...he will change it! 2. I spend more time in the bathroom now than when I was pregnant and throwing up alot! 3. In my mind, going potty (or poop!) in your pants is not a choice, my son thinks it is optional...depending on his mood. 4. Just when I think he has got it, he doesn't want me to get to comfortable, so he gives me a day where he goes through every pair of underwear he has...and some of his brothers. 5. I have become excellent at entertaining in the bathroom...singing, reading books, telling stories...not something I ever thought would become a part of my daily life. 6. If I hear a door close, it is time to run as fast as I can, throw open the door and yell..."Get to the bathroom"...hopefully before his underwear become like a cloth diaper that I am having to rinse out in the toilet...YUCK! 7. Ice Cream is not a motivator for him (how is that possible?!) 8. I know where all the bathrooms are for the stores we frequent...so that when I hear, "I have to go potty", I don't waste those important moments looking for one! 9. Each time we make it to the bathroom is a huge victory and calls for the POTTY DANCE! (Don't ask) 10. He does better now than he did 1 month ago..that has to be progress! :) 11. Sometimes I think my daughter (16 months younger) might get this figured out before my son does. 12. Over all he really does a good job...I just wonder if we will ever get completely over it... 13. ...But I know...HE WILL BE POTTY TRAINED BEFORE HE GOES TO COLLEGE! :) Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1.

I love it...
speaking of easy . . . that you were when it came to this..., but someone else WAS Not!!!Have fun, and just remember
THIS TOO will PASS!!
That's the problem Aunt Julie, she doesn't want it to "pass" in his pants... just kidding!!
Tina, this was a great list. You had me cracking up so hard!!
gotta love it...now i know why i haven't put Luke in underwear...aren't diapers easier??? :) hang in there
Ah yes...#9, the potty dance. Every momma has a potty dance. :)
And number 13 is what I'm clinging too as I'm about to jump in full force with my second child. :)
Great list! Very Funny. My 13 is up.
i had potty dances, potty songs, potty cheers, you name it! and my son had 'twinkle treats' (the teddy grahams in the yellow box), and 'poo poo treats' (the teddy grahams in the brown box). he came up with this genius system. still, he didn't conquer the potty until well after age three, despite ability, smarts, whatever else a kid needs. gah! i'm hesitating to start with my 2 yr old!
Hang on to #13--you are so right---he won't be going to college in diapers!
