I had a revelation. It was as if God spoke to me.
I could hear hallelujah! and amen! ringing in my ears!
At this point you are probably thinking... Lucas is potty trained! No. The opposite.
Luke's teachers along with Casey and I decided he isn't ready.
That is not entirely true. Lucas decided he wasn't ready.
We just finally listened.
Long story short - Luke is back in diapers.
He couldn't be happier. We couldn't be happier.
We didn't come to this decision lightly, but those
of you that we talk to regularly know we have been
contemplating it for weeks.
Lucas was doing great at first. He had lots of success. He had lots of failures too.
But we were hopeful that it would finally click.
Then he started reverting back and the situation kept
getting worse. He was stressed. We were stressed. The Clemmer household
felt like it was falling apart. His teachers and I discussed that he was a
young 2 and clearly wasn't ready.
Every kid is different. We tried. We failed. We will try again.
They assure me he will not go to college in a diaper.
So, what was my revelation?
That I was trying to make Luke grow up too fast.
That there was another baby in the house now
and that meant he had to be a big boy. A big brother.
Bottom line, Luke is a baby. He is my baby.
He is barely two and I am making him "run" through these milestones.
He will tell me when he is ready.
In the meantime, I just want to love on him. Enjoy him. Giggle with him.
The last couple months I dreaded getting up b/c I knew it
would be a day full of accidents, him throwing fits
and refusing to go to the bathroom. Being Luke's mommy
was no longer fun.
He has been back in diapers for almost a week now.
We are having fun again! We are enjoying each other again.
It may make me sound lazy, but really I just
couldn't ask him one more time if he had to go potty and have him say no.
Then go on my floor 5 minutes later. I was on pins and needles all day long
waiting for him to show me he had to go and waiting for an accident.
So I am back to changing two little boy's diapers again.
Two little boys with the cutest bootys in the world!
I consider myself lucky.
