Making myself accountable...

So, Porter is still NOT potty trained...I really thought he would be by now.  It's not that I'm rushing him, but he seemed so ready at such a young age (before age 2--around 22 months or so)--letting me know he was wet, waking up dry, using the potty, asking to get out of the bathtub during bath time to use potty, etc.  Well all of this has been going on for several months and we just can't seem to get it!!  I've started potty training a couple of times, and it seems he does good for a day or so and then totally loses interest--meaning screaming, crying and NOT wanting to do anything on the potty.  Then I just give up thinking he's "not ready", and put the diapers back on him! I really think being in school is also hurting us...I just don't think his teachers encourage potty use from him, even though I told them we were trying to potty train (both times I've picked him up early, I've seen them get him up and immediately take him for a diaper change, and not bother with the potty).  So I've decided to do the 3 day potty training method by Lora Jensen.  I've seen this method EVERYWHERE lately and a  quick google search showed lots of  blogger mom's that had success with it!  We started last week, with another (reward) method--which it similar to the 3-day method but the 3-day method is much much more intense.  We were only wearing underwear and getting a small ($1 toy) reward when he went.  It worked but I don't see this being a long-time training (he's had a few accidents and only seems interested in getting a toy...and we had LOTS of tantrums for more toys).  So we're going to wait a couple of more weeks, and when Ryan goes to the Sr. bowl in a few weeks, me and Porter are going to spend a long 72 hours together getting potty trained!! (I figured Porter would do better without daddy around)  Now, just by looking at it, I don't completely agree with everything (this method is also somewhat reward based) BUT I'm going to follow it to a T and hopefully have great results!  I am blogging about it to hold myself accountable and I'll blog about the results when I'm done (and hopefully have a potty trained child!!)
