It’s a new year, so it’s time to embark on a new challenge, right?

We began potty training Michael yesterday.

We spent pretty much the entire day in our hallway playing Legos and cars with a naked child in an effort to catch him before he needed to do his business.

It wasn’t easy.

And, it didn’t always go well.

The thought process behind this method is to keep him confined to a small area so you can watch closely for “signs.”

I’m not sure if this is the best method, but it’s a method. Everyone seems to have their opinion on “foolproof potty training.” I’m just not so sure any method is really “foolproof.”

Today, I’m at work, so I am missing out on the fun, but I did just get an encouraging message that there was some success. Here’s hoping more is yet to come.
