Buzz Lightyear - To Infinity And Beyond ?

Have you ever paid attention to how everything is marketed to gain the interest of children? Caleb has been asking for "Buzz Lightyear" pull ups for weeks now. The majority of parents I have talked to have said that the pullups were a waste of money so not to bother. I have tried, and so far nothing else has gotten Caleb serious about potty training. Yes, he is a boy, and as most will tell you, he is not interested in potty training as he is too busy playing with his trains.

The other thing that people try to do is make you feel guilty about daycare. I will not feel guilty. Caleb loves his 2 days a week there and his little friends. He asks to go there.

Where am I going with all this? It seems like maybe 2 things are maybe working to get Caleb interested in potty training: watching kids at daycare use the potty and Buzz Lightyear. After picking Caleb up the last couple of days from daycare he has actually started verbalizing an interest on sitting on the potty. He also mentioned one of his little friends with Buzz Lightyear pullups. We went to Costco after church today and picked up a box of pullups. I told him that he could put one on after his nap. Since wearing Buzz, he has peed in the potty twice (probably too much detail for some of you) and is in bed eagerly awaiting morning so he can put Buzz back on. I am not getting my hopes up to high, but it is a start. If Buzz can get my kid to use the potty then more power to him!! As I sign off tonight I say "to infinity and beyond"!! This picture will go in his scrapbook and will be something to haunt him with as a teenager when he doesn't want to listen to mom!
