Lil’ Loves: Potty Training Camp…worse than Sunday Boot Camp!

I’ll take the rigors of boot camp any day over the ones involved in Potty Training…or as I like to call it Potty “Booty” Training!!!
Our 4 year old has finally mastered #1, after several months of concerted efforts; we can now take him out without the “safety net” of his big boy diaper…but #2 is a completely different Oprah :$


It’s inherent that for a child on the Autism Spectrum, like our wonderful son, these things sometimes take longer, and while he’s lost all fear surrounding the potty when it comes to #1, he refuses to use it for #2. Instead he will literally “hold-out” a full day, sometimes more, until we surrender and put the night time diaper on him and then watch out folks!!! the things that come out of this lil’ boy are pure science fiction!!!

I dread we are going to have to go cold turkey on this one pretty soon and just deal with the alien life forms plopping all around us!!! But I tell you, in all honesty, I much rather do burpies, lunges and mountain climbers all day long in 90 degree, 100% humidity, Miami type weather than Potty "Booty" Train...May the force be with us!

Ciao for now  :*
