HA! I was trying to be positive to prevent a 'self-fulfilling prophesy' of sorts, but...

He didn't communicate that he had to go ONCE. I reminded him a couple of times (as mom said he'll answer 'go peepee?' when he has to go) and we went, but he'd already gone in his diaper. And he was a grumpy mess before lunch (so much so that he refused to eat at all) so I skipped it then. I'll give it another shot this afternoon, but I'm pretty sure I know how it's going to go :/

I wasn't overly looking forward to "potty training" him anyway, as I said before, I like the kids to be a little more independent in the routine. As it was when he sat down he immediately started sticking his hands down there - if I stick my head out to check the other kids is he going to pee in his hands? As it is, I can't safely leave the room while he's in there.

I'll give it an honest try this week, but I'm not expecting miracles.
