Potty Training

We have been going at this for over a month now.  He isn't always telling me when he has to go ... heck he never tells me when he has to go... but I am so proud of him.   I have to ask him, and take him in there to sit even if he loses his marbles.  If I ask him if he wants a sucker he will say "hurry, hurry, hurry" and go to the bathroom.  But he only gets the sucker if he goes potty.  I'm not sure if I'm training him or he is training me.

The other day... he holds himself and runs to me going "Need M&M's"... and he went potty.  That has been the only time he has let me know that he has to go.  Not sure what I really need to be doing to get him to tell em all the time.  I guess I just have to have patience.

I haven't been having a lot of patience lately.  The other day I got so upset I put a diaper on him.  He wasn't real thrilled, but I told him babies wear diapers and he was wetting his Big Boy pants like a baby.  I felt like crap after I told him that.  I want him to know he is a big boy.  I was just at my whits end.  I have not put him in any other diapers or anything since then.  I can't do that to him anymore.  I just need to find a way to not be so stressed.  He is 2 and a half.... he will have accidents... and he will eventually "get it".  :D

And have accidents he does... like when I went to lunch with my girlfriend the other day.  He had an accident in the booth.  Or the time right in the middle of an aisle at Target.  I know they are going to happen... I just wish I, the "Mommy" could not stress so much about it.
