pbs came up to me last night and said "potty!" then he took me by the hand and led me to his potty. he proceeded to sit down and use the potty. js and i were very surprised and very happy. we haven't been saying anything about the potty since pbs seemed to lose interest.
i guess that's kind of how potty training goes though, right? we'll have a few good days and then nothing or all diapers for a while and then a surprise like this. i hope we have more instances where pbs wants to do it himself rather than not.
he is only two so i am a little hesitant to start down this road but he's been showing signs of being ready for months. i'm also hesitant to start so early and then have him end up feeling like we're forcing him to do this rather than him wanting to. he's still not quite able to pull his pants down by himself so i know we have a little while before he'll be completely potty trained.
i've always heard that boys are more difficult to potty train than girls. well i have nothing to compare this to, so i don't know if that's true or not. what i do know is that pbs seems ready, according to the books and articles that i've read, but maybe i'm not ready to go full on on this journey. i'll get there soon enough and so will he. but until we both get there, there will always be more potty talk.
