So I've got this quandary. My boy is three and still wearing diapers. I haven't even tried potty training because until now, circumstances have not been right for successful potty training (I do the one-day method, put them straight in underwear, and it's wonderful but a lot of work--setting them up for success means that you're stuck at home for about a week). He started showing interest a year ago at age two, but we were preparing for a cross-country move and didn't know where we'd live, etc. I held him off and figured we'd try in the early fall after we were settled in our new place. Surprise! We didn't get "settled" for almost eight months. I thought I'd try then, and I gave a half-hearted attempt for a few hours one morning, but he was resistant, and I didn't want a battle. Besides, I was about to take a 2-week trip with the kids. Not a good time for something new! After we returned, D was working nights for a month, so I decided to try after that was over. Then we found out we'd be taking another trip soon. No good! So after we got back from the other trip, I thought the time might be right. Then we decided to take another trip. The Training Event was put off yet again. We are now back from that trip, and I could go ahead and set aside a day to do it, but as mentioned above, I'm feeling lazy. Oh, what to do?
My other issue is, Chiquitita is showing the signs that she's ready now. Squeak potty-trained before age two, so I'm not surprised. Do I let my baby learn first, or my 3-year-old, or do I just say no to being stuck at home when I really just want to get out of the house?
I think this looks much more appealing than sitting inside near the potty!
