Trials of Potty Training

Why couldn't God create us with an automatic potty training at about 18 months?  One day we would all just wake up and ask for underwear and never have an accident again.  I bet in reality he created this particular struggle to teach parents patients and give us a sort of mortification to shorten our time in purgatory later.  By this  module any one who has more than a few children should spend very little time on their way to the pearly gates.

Max has kind of leveled off at one to two accidents a day.  He simple refuses to use a public toilet, because of the split in the seat.  So he will simple hold it until he has an accident.  He also has to be up for about one hour before he will try the bathroom. 

There is hope though.  Every day he tells me a little more often that he needs to go.  He also is a little bit drier upon waking in the morning.  He is always dry after his nap.  The key to potty training is persistence.  Once you start keep working at it until one day no accidents!  I believe we will get there.  It may take a long time, but we will make it!
