Yup, I am a total failure. All hepped up to potty train Lincoln this week (Spring Break) and the little booger starts being non-cooperative.
He's been doing great occasinally sitting on the potty, has peed & pooped in it many times, so I figured the real deal would be a cakewalk. WRONG!
Today I put him in real underwear with plastic pants over it, and had him sit on the potty every 15-20 minutes (like yesterday, only in pull-ups yesterday). He peed in the potty ONCE--every other time, he peed in his underpants soon after standing up from the potty.
SO. I am frustrated and just gave up, cried, and now feel like a failure. He's back in pull-ups and we'll sit on the potty every so often. And Lincoln will be in pull-ups until he can drive.
Twins!

Oh Erin, I'm sorry it's gotten you down so hard. I promise it will be OK. My kids weren't easy potty trainers either. It lasted for months and they were all 3 before it finally "took". Plus, by all reports it takes boys longer than girls. It will happen, 3 kids in and all of them are fine, Lincoln will be too!
Girl, give yourself a break! You're not a failure! My Nathan was 3 1/2 before he was completely trained. I just knew he'd be starting kindergarten in diapers! But, he figured it out and so will Lincoln! Hang in there!
