We've Got the Goods

The potty seat shaped like a red bear stands waiting.


The filler seat for the toilet (looking something like an open-top Stetson) is ready.




The Scooby-Doo underpants are purchased, laundered and sitting in the drawer.



And this boy?


Wants nothing to do with any of it.

  1. Maybe he sees through it all and wants to just sit on the damn regular toilet! lol

  3. You need to do potty training with reverse psychology then of course! We had our son give his diapers to Santa Claus and Santa Claus left him tons of underwear.

  4. Where are the "potty books"? Where is the sticker chart? Come on now, you're not telling the full story are you?!

  5. That's one cute boy! I think he needs a potty chart and once it's full he gets an icecream sundae from McDonald's. Hmmm I need a chart that gets me a sundae - maybe if I do the dishes all week long.....

  7. I know you've been through this a few times already, but I found with both of mine that you just have to wait until THEY decide it's time to graduate to real underwear. So, I guess I got nothin'.

  8. The memories, oh, the memories (trauma amnesia, really). The pediatrician promised me that no one reached puberty without having mastered this skill. Good luck.

    (And how did everything go yesterday?)

  9. Hahahaha. The scandalous post finally posts! I have to tell you, my son has Scooby Doo undies too. He loves them so much, in fact, that he cries when i put Thomas the Tank or Lightning McQueen undies on him. Who knew Scooby Doo would be the reigning champion of undies!!!

    That kiddo of yours is smart, willful, and determined. And one day, that will be a good thing. Hahaha.

  11. In all 3 of my kids it just clicked. Just plain clicked.

    But wait! He's missing teeth! How OLD is he? I've got a 7 year old who is no where near losing a tooth.

  12. He is ADORABLE!!

    He'll do it when he's ready- and not until then!

  13. Hey, how did you get my kid there? Oh, wait, I see that's not mine. You want depression? My eldest son, just over 4; my daughter, nearly 5!!!; my youngest demonic son, 3. It'll happen. Before college, certainly.

  15. Julia was the same way. She wasn't interested if any part of it at all. Especially if even the slightest bit of it seemed to be my idea. Once she "discovered" it herself (Hey! Mom! What if I just pee in this plastic thing? I wouldn't need a diaper!), it's been much smoother sailing.

  16. I hate typos. It makes anything you type just...well...less. I'm sure you realize I meant "in" where I wrote "if" and I probably seem even dorkier pointing it out, but I just can't let you believe that I didn't realize that mistake.

  17. Ha! This is a cute post!

    Don't worry, he will get it someday!

  18. Does he go to school yet...if not, it doesn't really matter. I though they started kindergarden in the Netherlands at age 5?

    In Belgium that is age 2.5-3 and they need to be potty trained then. Stress stress for my sister and sister's in law who all have children between 2 and 2.5 now and who all will start trying to potty train in the coming weeks.

  19. HEE HEE! My youngest (almost 26 months) is potty training now. The thing is, she will walk around the house for HOURS with nothing on her nether regions and prance about and hold herself and tiptoe around. I ask her every ten minutes or so if she needs to sit on the potty - no, no she says. Finally when her eyes are swimming and she's refusing to sit on the potty, I put a diaper on her. Instant relief. OY!

    He's a cutie for sure!

  20. hah! But he's so cute, that makes it all better, right? :)

  21. Potty training.. ICK! Boys are so stubborn about it. Good luck. I would offer some tips, but the only thing that worked for me was buying underpants with their idols aka Spiderman and SpongeBob on them. They refused to potty on their all time favorite heros.

    Good Luck!

  22. I don't know what his problem is. I would KILL for a teddybear potty. Why don't the adults get fun things like that?
