Potty Training

I am in no way a Potty training expert. I haven't even successfully potty trained Carson yet. A little back story, We started potty training Carson after his second birthday. He was mostly pee trained with very few wet accidents. But it wasn't the pee that was the problem. Oh now, Carson had chronic toddler diarrhea. Its a real thing. Nothing is wrong with him. We took him to allergist, we took him to the doctor had poop cultures done. The whole 9-yards. At the end of severally really pain in the ass visits, and a celiac blood draw as a "last resort" I couldn't what the issue with my sweet boy was. What was wrong with him? He was having blasto poop 5 times a day. Thats not exactly easy to get him to go in the potty. 

So now, almost a year later, countless "breaks" a million accidents, and a lot of frustration and me throwing up my hands and saying "We're done with this crap Carson!" and putting a diaper on him. He's finally truly showing some signs of actually being ready. Woah. At first when he'd ask me to take him potty I would say "no way, just go in your diaper." But then I realized, if he wants to go, I should let him go. We started out slow. We finally got his tummy troubles under control. HOORAY!*  

So here it is, he's almost 3. All our friends have potty trained their kids and Carson couldn't even go to preschool this fall because he wasn't potty trained. He couldn't do soccer either. I know that probably by January he will be totally trained. Thats my goal. Before the end of this year I want him going by himself to the potty. 

I asked him a few days ago, do you want to wear undies or diapers? He chose undies. So we are not putting diapers on him again. (with the exception of car rides. The carseat is hard to take apart to scrub) 

*We "fixed" his tummy troubles with a mix of Probiotics, fiber pills and vitamins.
