Let the Potty Training Cist and Decease!

Yup, that's right. After 3 fairly successful days of potty training, the toddler has decided that he wants to wear diapers again. The fussing was so bad last night, and Ken finally got him to calm down and talk about it. Ken asked him if he still wanted to be a big boy, and his answer was no. Then he asked him if he wanted to wear big boy pants or a diaper, and he replied "diaper". Ken asked him several times and his answer was the same, so we decided to not push the issue and let him go back to wearing diapers and we might try again in a couple of weeks. But Ken and I have decided to NOT even mention sitting on the potty for at least 3 weeks, and hopefully will give him a break. But this morning, it took all Finnegan had to even let me change his diaper. So who knows! Right now, it is such a power struggle. And I just have to be the parent, and make him want to follow instructions, regardless of what the issue is. Grr... Why does this have to be so hard???
