Ok, so we are celebrating the immense progress E has made potty training. He is only wearing a pullup at bedtime and often waking up dry. He tells us when he has to go and the only time he is giving us any trouble about it is when he wants to wear a specific pair of underwear that is dirty ;) (usually Optimus Prime).
So for all those who have the daunting task of potty training before them, here is some unsolicited advice: WAIT UNTIL THE CHILD IS READY. That research about readiness is not bullshit. It is good stuff. Once ready, it pretty much just snaps into place. Stop worrying that your child is the last in his class --yep, he was. Respect the teachers, but do not let them push if you do not think your child is ready. When all of you think he is ready, then be exceptionally thankful if you get good teachers like E's who were very vigilant with him. They made a huge contribution to this process.
For those of you who were kind enough to pray for potty, could you just as kindly shift those prayers to our bedtime issues? The toddller bed is less than desirable to the little man.
