Potty Training - The Ultimate Test of Endurance

I am potty training a two year old.  We purchased the training pants and the frog-shaped potty.  We have read the potty book multiple times and I thought we were ready.  What I didn't realize is that potty training take a lot of time and patience. In our house it also requires Skittles.  The entire endeavor leaves me feeling a bit exhausted.

After a week of potty training we are at about a 60% success rate and I'm determined to soldier on.  I'm trying to look on the bright side.  Here is a very short list of Potty Training Pluses.

1. A 60% success rate means 40% less diapers purchased.
2. My bathroom is really clean.  I spend so much time sitting in there waiting on JAC that I notice ever speck of dirt and scrub my bathroom daily.
3. I read to JAC twelve times a day.  I was frankly already a little tired of our books.   Now I read to JAC while he sits on his potty and can practically recite the words with my eyes closed.  We buying new books on payday.
4. Skittles.  Sometimes I eat a few too.
