Failing to Potty Train a "Flee" year old..

Well, for quite some time now, I have been trying to potty train my son, Ryan. He has no desire WHATSOEVER to work with me in this task. I have tried bribing him, I have threatened him, I've promised him toys, candy, whatever... you name it and still NOTHING! I think he's doing this just to spite me... I have taken him to the store and we have chosen the big boy chonies and everything, I put them on him and he just continues to pee and poo in his pants. I will literally ask him every 3 minutes, "do you have to go potty?" and he replies "no" and in the meantime, he's peeing in his pants. UGH!
I feel that my son should be going in the toilet since his bowel movements are larger than those of a Mastif. But, like I said, he has no interest to work with me. I mean seriously, what child has a bowel movement so large that it clogs the toilet? and I'm not talking like it got stuck in the plumbing... I'm talking it never went down, it got stuck in the hole to go down! GROSS! That is the kind of crap that I have to deal with on a daily basis (literally). So as my little man came to wake me up at 1:30 in the morning to advise me that he had 'rocks' in his diaper, I was grumbling, walking down the hall to his room to change his diaper, then the whole toilet thing happened! His poo was too big to just leave in the diaper and throw away and I was too tired to go downstairs and throw the diaper outside so I thought I'd flush the poop. Holeee shit!! I left this huge note for my hubby and left it on the toilet seat for my husband who would be using the toilet in 4 hours as he begins to get ready for work. "RYAN TOOK BIG CRAP, CLOGGED TOILET!!! DO NOT USE!!!" Waking up to these special surprises have been the highlight of my week...Thank goodness, the weather has cleared up! It looks like we're going to Disneyland on Sunday with some good weather... If I could just get Ryan to pee and poo in the toilet, life would be great!
As for little, little man, Aaron... that boy poops enough for 4 people. That kid smells food and he's pooping. I'm changing poopy diapers 4 to 5 times a DAY! Is this freaking normal? Good God.... and they said boys are easier! I'm thinking, YEAH RIGHT!!!

Why Me?!

Okay, so today is the first day that I am going to try this and hope that it helps give me some piece of mind after my hectic days! The weather has been so crappy lately that I can't take the boys out for walks to the neighborhood park or go to Disneyland or even just play in the backyard...The weather has confined me to my house and I'm losing it! Ryan, my 2 year old, who will tell you everyday that he will be turning "flee" next month is at the stage where he likes to answer questions with a question.... Everything is "why?", "why?", "why?".... OMG!! I have to seriously remind myself that he is 2 and he's not being a little pest on purpose however, some part of me believes that is he is purposely being a little poop. I always thought that it was just me thinking too much of my kid but my mom confirmed that dad described Ryan as "being too smart for his own good." Great! That's what I have to say about that...He is at the stage of being possesive... meaning that everything is "his"! I try to explain to him that it's not all his... half of the toys and junk in our house belongs to him and little brother but Ryan seems to forget about little brother, Aaron. Poor Little "Ary" (as we like to call him). He always seems to take a backseat to loud and boisterous Ryan. Ary is the kindest little man, he is so gentle and loving and will cuddle with you all day if you let him. He takes the "beatings" that his older brother gives him and just cries and doesn't fight for himself. He looks up to Ryan and absolutely LOVES him... it's funny to see how these two interact with each other. Ryan is funny too, in the way where he is possesive and doesn't let Aaron have anything but if there were other kids around, he would share ONLY with Aaron and tell the other kids to pretty much F-off! Its funny, when I first found out that I was pregnant, I thought for sure that I would have mild mannered kids since my hubby and I are very mild mannered... Yeah Right! What a joke! My kids are the kids you hate when you are dining in a restaraunt! They are both just trying to be heard and it is driving me crazy! I was trying to convince my hubby that we should really try for a daughter to balance things out... Yeah, he's not going for it so much... He just laughs, and shakes his head asking "Why would you choose to add to this chaos?, Are you LOCO woman?!" Sometimes, I think I am... Thank goodness tommorow is Friday!
