The drooling doesn't concern me after talking with the doctor, except that it's a mess. ;)
I've heard this and witnessed it and was prepared for it. But, he can't move up to the next class until he's potty trained. So it's frustrating when I feel like I'm staring down a deadline. One of my nephews didn't potty train in time for the same sort of transition. For him it was a conscious decision to work on it after seeing all his friends move up. He actually told my sister-in-law "mommy, I'm just going to have to get my act together" one day, and that was that. It's something we'll just have deal with if it happens, but I'm trying to avoid it if possible. I feel like I watched a window of opportunity pass by when he was excited about the new potty and probably at a more malleable time in his toddlerhood. That's really the most frustrating part and the part I'm blaming myself for. I thought we'd try to ease him in and I should have gone at it like gangbusters right then.
