Today we spent almost the whole day diaper free. That's right folks, Bubba said he wanted underpants so I went with it. We went to the grocery store....no accidents. We went to the playground...no accidents. We came home and took a nap and the potty gods smiled on us....no accidents. Shortly after waking up, Bubba sat on the potty. We read 3 books, then he said all done and pulled up his "unnerwear" and we left the bathroom. About 30 seconds later we had an accident. No big deal, we changed into clean underwear and pants and went to play. Still doing great only one accident. After dinner, we have the following conversation:
Bubba: "Poopin!"
Me: "Lets go sit on the potty!! Come On!"
Bubba: "No! No Potty....need diaper. Gotta Poop."
I'm not sure if this is really a set back, or progress. I do know I'll save a ton in diapers if he keeps it up.
Tell me readers! What are your adventures in potty training?
Lol, figures right?
ReplyDeleteZ is VERY excited about putting stickers on his chart, and exceedingly excited about getting a treat (if something actually goes in the potty)... thus far we've only gone in the potty by happy accident.
At least we are moving away from "fear" of the potty.... brought on by me whipping him out of the bathtub and on to the potty when he gave "one of those faces", he won't admit to going poo now (obviously we can tell) and definitely won't sit on the potty while he is actually going.... he only wants to sit on there when nothing is sure to happen. I've noticed he will now go several hours dry, now it is just getting that it needs to happen in the potty idea down.
In due time.............
Never had a boy but I have heard that they do get anxious about doing poop on the toilet. If he is showing an interest don't discourage him. Juli wasn't trained until almost three. Dani was trained by 18 months. It really depends on the child.
ReplyDelete@ Rach I think Levi knows how to hold it, but not how to make himself go. I can tell he tries but gets bored when nothing happens.
ReplyDelete@ Lu not a chance I'll discourage him! This is all his idea not mine.
