An Early Gift
I told myself the best gift I could get for my birthday this month was a potty trained 2 year old. And my little Fulton came through!
In two weeks, he was by leaps and bounds easier to potty train than Therese. It could be the Montessori techniques I used, or the extra patience that our blessed Lord granted me, or his easy going nature, or the extra family rosaries we offered for this. Whatever it was…Thank you, Jesus!
I think I actually enjoyed potty training during this round. God gave me a little grace to look at the whole situation as time to spend one-on-one with our little guy. I often wonder how parents with multiple children get to spend time individually with each child. Well, now I know one way. I think it did Fulton a lot of good not to have big sister around during this time, and to enjoy mom or dad reading to just him. I think it did me some good too.
