We have been working on potty training Marc which is not something I've been looking forward to. Marcelo and I had a deal that it was Marcelo's responsibility to potty train any boys we had and mine for any girls. Guess who's potty training Marc? That's right - me. Of course with encouragement from Marcelo like "When is he going to learn!" and "He has to be trained by the time he's 3 or he can't move to the 3's class." (he turns 3 in 3 months)

The biggest hurdle right now is that he doesn't get that underwear isn't absorbant. If I let him run around naked, he has no problem. He'll go use the potty all by himself, with no prompting, whenever he has to go. If he's wearing underwear, he'll wet his pants every time. I'm also a little worried about how it'll work when we're not at home. I haven't even started to think about that yet. If I try to get him to sit on the potty when he doesn't want to, he totally refuses. And I'm pretty sure that if we're out and having fun he's not going to want to take a break to go.

We have some progress, though. At least we know he's capable of holding it and knowing when he has to go (and what to do about it).
