The moment we all want to forget...

Potty Training! Scary music in the background is totally appropriate to set this mood. I'll be honest there isn't much laughter going on as of now. This sucks!! And with my hard headed, strong willed, insane, and grumpy 2 year old it only makes matters worse :( There should be a warning label for potty training! As of Monday Kenny and I began the adventure based of the 3-day potty training manual that apparently works for everyone but us! I'm on day 4 and I am practically bribing Rhay to pee in the toilet! Kenny was on a 6-day vacation and he was forced to work 2 days into this crazy thing called "pee in the dang toilet" so needless to say, I'm on my own! :( Now that I am on my own my shadow named Taelyn follows us to the potty and insists on eating all the M&M's (Rhay's pee pee treat). As I am encouraging and bribing Rhay to just pee already Taelyn is at my feet, and if you all know her this will make perfect sense, "more!, "more!, more!, more!, more!, more!". I'm stuffing Taelyn with candy just so that she will be quiet enough for me to kindly and patiently ask Rhaylee to "PEE in the POTTY!" Once we get a tinkle (this girl can hold pee up to 4 hrs) it's "YAY" and we say "bye bye pee pee" Taelyn easily gets this and I'm thinking at this time that I'm totally training the wrong kid hahaha :) Anyways, I'm glad that I took the time to write all this out because I'm finally getting a giggle as I actually read it! Now it's a plea for prayer...please pray for Rhay and I. Pray that we have patience with each other and that we can be successful very very soon and that I can make just a few more days without turning into a Pee Pee Nazi :/

Potty Training Side Effects:
Migranes
Break outs due to stress
Sleepless nights
Hair loss due to stress
Weak stomach
Dry hands due to excessive washing
Irritability
Exhaustion
Weight gain due to the M&M consumption

Please consider before taking that journey! :) I'll let ya'll know if we come out alive!
