Potty training SUCKS!

So a few weeks ago while at a friend's house Ethan decided he didn't want to wear his clothes. Mia didn't either so they both stripped down and were playing happily in the living room. We look up and see Ethan standing at the potty chair. I asked him what he was doing and he said "I go pee." I jump and to see and sure enough he is going pee. Standing and even aiming! He got every drop in! I was SO proud and I decided right then and there that we would do a "Naked Potty Training Boot Camp" at home Memorial Day weekend. Three days of staying home with him naked and hopefully going potty either in the toilet or his potty chair.

Fast forward to the big weekend. Saturday morning started out well. Naked from the time he got up until he wanted to play outside. I put a pair of undies and babylegs on him and sent him out on the deck. He came inside and within 2 minutes he peed his undies. Aawww man! Accident #1. No big deal. We clean up the carpet and take the undies and babylegs off. Shortly after he toots. Again, no big deal. I ask if he has to go potty, of course the answer is no. Nect thing I know he has crapped all over the living room floor. Not jsuta ny old poo either. This was NASTY loose, almost diarrhea. UGH I drop him in the tub and leave him there while I try my best to clean up the carpet and the throw pillow. Now I need ideas on how to get the stain out of the carpet. He went down for a nap, with a pull-up, shortly after that and when we got up we went to the mall. I know, I know, it was supposed to be 3 days of naked minus naps and bed but Old Navy had a sale I couldn't pass up!

Today he has been naked since waking up at 9AM. It's been 4 hours and he has not gone potty AT ALL! Not in the toilet, potty chair or on the carpet. I have this sneaky feeling that as soon as I put his pull-up on for nap he's is going to release the flood gates and go. I know he's holding it, I just know it!
