Big Boy Underwear- January 2

I've had it. Mark has had it. His poor little bottom has had it. Today was the day. Liam may be clinging to diaper wearing by his fingernails, but we're starting potty training hardcore. We've tried easing into it for months. A year really. We bought both a special "big boy seat" for the toilet and a more traditional potty chair. He's sat on them, read books on them, watched television while on them. He's actually gone a few times. But nothing sticks. He just doesn't want to use the toilet. He is perfectly content to stay in diapers for the rest of his life...at least his life thus far.

Santa brought Liam some very special Bob the Builder underwear with his Christmas loot. Attached was a simple note I hoped would somehow work the magic I could not. It read:

Dear Liam,

Please try and use the potty. You are a big boy and I know you can do it.

Love, Santa

Today was the day. We broke open the package and put those babies on. We went through all three pairs, plus 3 diapers. Liam sat on the potty to humor us once or twice, but decided to pee in his underwear three times today. Once on the couch. Once in the car seat. And miraculously, once in a neat little puddle under the dining room table.

*sigh* Tomorrow, after all, is another day.
