Not the way I thought it would go

This weekend we tried... and failed potty training Finn.  Yesterday, John and I geared up for an all day crash course in potty training.  We put Finn in big boy underwear and set a timer to go off every 15 minutes to go potty, bribing him with his favorites, cars & gummy bears. He was so cute; everytime I would ask if he had gone he would say "Not yet Mommy, not yet." Finn sat on the pot 42 times and didn't go once.  He did however go 5 times on the floor.  We tried again this morning and no luck.   So I decided to let it go, put him back in diapers, and we will try again on Christmas break.  He really was a good sport about it all I just honestly don't think he is ready. 

What finally sent me over the edge was I decided to treat John and I to a $20 bottle of one of our favorite red wines, Frances Coppola, I am usually pretty frugal when it comes to wine but decided we really deserved it after our day.  I opened it, walked out to bath a child and when I came back in a BIG, HUGE fly had died in the bottle.  That was the moment that I started crying.






Oh well, guess we will keep him. :)

Those pics are so cute! Glad you have them & this post so you can remember potty training him. Especially since I was no help b/c I can't remember much at all!
