Potty Training

I didn't really want to put a picture of my son on there, so a teddy bear it is. Well, I think we are making a break through with Evan. Maybe I am speaking to quick, but the past few days of successes is the most I have seen in the past year, yes, I said year. My son has been getting on the potty off and on since before he was two. It was a game to him and he saw us doing it. Well now that he is well into 3 and I really am trying to get him out of diapers he was not wanting to cooperate, no matter what I did. Grace only took about 3 months, and there was improvement everyday. Once she started #2, she was done, and potty trained overnight as well. I sure got my hopes up when Evan showed signs early. Over the weekend, David and I worked together, to make sure he was going every chance he could, and told him that it was no longer a choice, this is what he had to do. He would be disciplined if he did not at least try, or obey. I didn't want to go that route, but it seems like the only thing that would work for our very strong willed boy. Today, was the break through. He held it for awhile tonight, and I kept bugging him to go and he said not yet. Finally he decided to get on, and let go of 1 and 2 and he only had one accident today, as he was trying to get to the potty on his own. Yahoo! He also told his teacher he had to go at early intervention today. That was a first that he told another adult too. So, I am anticipating some more accidents, but I think we are on the right track now.

Why does the Bible not include stories about parents potty training their children? I could have used a lesson, and still could use a lesson on patience while potty training a young child. How was Jesus trained? What did they do without the books, and videos and such to get potty trained? I think disposables have made it harder to get kids trained in this day and age.
