Potty Training

I remember potty training with Catie as being very easy. She followed directions and totally got the concept of using the potty and not have dirty pants. Boys are such a different story. We have been potty training Max for quite some time. He is starting to really get into the pee pee part but refuses to put his poop in the potty. He is still having some developmental delays and I'm not sure whether to blame it on the delays or the fact that he is a boy. He have read the books and bought a cool musical potty and even let him pick out his own big boy undies. If I remind him he will go but most times he wets himself. He is such a stubborn little boy and has to do things in his own time. I wish he would choose his time because having 2 in diapers is tough and expensive. I HATE pull ups and think they are a waste of time but he likes them. When I was potty training Catie I was more patient since she was the only child in my life and I devoted all my time to her. That included potty training. Now that there are 3 children in my life I can't devote all my time to just one child and I am not nearly as patient as I was at 21 years old. We are hoping he wakes up one day and decided today is the day to use the potty but knowing Max like I do, I am not holding my breath.
