So I jumped in feet first before I had time to back out. So far Matthew has discovered that he doesn't like being wet. He accidentally peed in the toilet while standing and it made a loud noise and startled him, so we have been trying to get comfortable on the potty again, he seems to be over that incident now though.
It is going to be a long process but I am prepared for that, and Chris is on board so that makes it easier. We are just hoping that he can learn control and what the different sensations mean, but until he figures that out we are prepared for lots of laundry and little messes. The goal right now is to let him learn and discover while adjusting to the idea of no more diapers without pressure or making him feel bad about accidents. At this point they are not accidents because he doesn't know how to control the processes yet.
Here is hoping that it will not take as long as it could, I am prepared for a couple of weeks to figure out how to control the muscles and understand what it happening, and then a few months to master the use of the potty. If it takes longer than that I will be sad, mostly because if he hasn't mastered it by the time baby comes we could be in for a very long struggle. Oh well we will see what happens. He is a smart boy and I know he can do it!
