Potty Talk

Ok--so this whole potty training thing is much more difficult than I ever could have imagined. I asked a lot of questions before I started, got lots of advice, listened to lots of stories...but nothing has worked so far with Will. Brian and I spent Saturday morning from 7-2:30 implementing all the potty techniques we have heard about and I have come to the conclusion (at nearly 3 years old) Will is still not ready. We went through 7 pairs of underwear, cleaned up two pee accidents, and then finally gave up. It was the most stressful morning/afternoon that we have experienced yet with Will. He was as miserable as we were. We obviously can't make him use the restroom on his big boy potty so the only thing we know to do is wait a little longer. A woman at church (whom is a kindergarten aide) told us she has never once had a kindergartner show up in Pull-Ups so we felt a little better. Lets just hope Will doesn't write history. :)

Abby is a little under the weather with a cold but she has remained in good spirits. I pray she gets feeling better fast.
As of Tuesday, our family will be officially complete with just Abby and Will. It was not an easy decision but we have our boy and girl....both healthy and thriving...and we are ready to move on with next phase of our lives and just grow our family. It is a little sad thinking that there will be no more babies in our future but I feel at peace with our decision. Hope all of you are doing well.
