I know it takes a lot patience to have kids. I have 3 kids, and sadly I have no patience. It's something that I have struggled with since Tayson was born and Luke is really putting it to the test! I honestly had to walk out of the room last night after changing his poopy diaper. It is ridiculous that the kid can't figure this whole potty thing out. It drives me crazy and I just have no patience for it. This of course makes me feel horrible, but seriously it's just too much. Luke is a very smart kid - I'm not trying to brag or anything but since he gets it from Todd and others in my family (not directly from me) I feel ok to say that he really is smart. He's almost 3 1/2 and he can spell almost any 3 letter word I give him. It's amazing. He can do any puzzle we give him, he has even done an adult puzzle with Todd before. But he CAN'T poop in the toilet!!! It makes me want to scream. Claire on the other hand only knows a handful of words, her favorite of these words is poo poo. And she knows what it means and does it. She even made up her own "poop" word a couple of weeks ago. She passed some gas and she smiled at me and said "poopsie" it made me laugh pretty hard so that's her new word for a toot. She's on the second line of her potty chart already (Luke has 1 mercy sticker and has earned 1 on his own). I keep praying for the patience to make it through this whole potty training event, but if it doesn't come soon I'm just going to have to get rid of Luke for a few months. :) Don't judge me....I'm just at the end of my rope and had to get it off my chest :)
