Potty Training???? Oh the Joys!

It seems that little Grant is "potty training" us, rather than the other way around. We'll sit on the edge of the tub while he sits on the pot for 30+ minutes just waiting on him upon his insistance that he really does have to go potty. After watching his cousin, Jaybin, go potty on the big potty chair, he has great desire to copy him, completely ignoring his own little potty chair. But even this intense desire does not seem to be enough to spur him on to actually using the thing. We'll sit there for hours with nothing, then as soon as the diaper goes on, the waterworks turn on, as well. It's so frustrating! The kid has control. He seems to think of it as some sort of game, and I'm not really sure how to stop it.

Not only that, but he has decided that he doesn't like it when his diaper is wet now, so as soon as he goes, he proceeds to remove any clothes he has on as well as the diaper he's wearing and comes running with his bare little bottom to tell me. I then have to go on a hunt to find the soiled diaper which is laying somewhere in my house. Yuck. The worst are the "Dirty" ones. How unpleasant. So, though I think he's ready to potty train, he has a will as strong as an ox. He's conditioned us to his desires...just how do we condition him to ours??? Ugh.
