aka: How to humiliate your child by writing all about their poops and pees:)
aka: Operation: Use The Freaking Potty
Day 2
Verdict: Pretty Good
The Method: Bribe. Doritos were his poison of choice today. No doubt that he's my kid!
The Good: Z was really really receptive to the potty today. He was dry when he woke up (SHOCKING! this has literally never happened before) and did a great first-of-the-morning pee. Proud mommy and proud kid! In total, he used the potty more often than I expected and was only reminded three times (I can't help myself). I think the Diego underwear, reminding him of friends who poop and pee on the potty, and positive reinforcement are working really well. HAHAHAHAHAHA, just kidding. It's the treats.
The Bad: He had 3 accidents. One was a poop in his pants. BARF. He also was in a real snit today. You have no idea what a mood this kid can get into. Needless to say, this made him a real treat;) Despite the mood and the poopy pants, there is very little bad to report.
The Really Unexpected: He announced he is going to potty alone (i.e.: without me standing there holding his winky dinky) tomorrow. We shall see...
I told Lil B not to pee on *fill in cartoon character on underwear* that really worked for me too!!!
ReplyDeleteYES- diego doesn't like the water (is what Z told me)
DeleteAwe - I'm so glad to hear it's going well. Cadence is trying to train too, but she's insistent that she gets to wear her underwear over the diaper... Not how it works, honey. lol.
ReplyDeleteWe did that with Z for a bit and then one day I just took that diaper away...
DeleteGood for him!! What a great start to it all! I fear the potty training days, my little guy isn't 3 until October, and really doesn't seem ready yet, so Im not pushing the issue. Every once and a while I will ask him if he has to pee and wants to sit on the potty, and he will, but never pees. I think he's gonna be a cold turkey kind of kid; just pick a week in the spring/summer when I think he's ready, take the diapers away and go for it!
ReplyDeleteBribes and fun undies will be high on my list too!
We did cold turkey too, with a bit of a pep talk the week leading up to the removal of diapers. I mean, I think when they're ready, they'll do it...at least, I hope that's how it works.
Deletehow is it going Mo?? Is he taking to it?
Deletethis is awesome and at this rate I think you'll have yourself one trained tinkler in no time! can I get a Team Z t-shirt? xo
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so!
DeleteYou can have the first one (and one for Gabe)- cute red-heads have to support each other;)

ReplyDeletedays of potty training a child and a couple of of the three bathing rooms seem like some sort of storm went through these individuals. Tarnished toilet servings, drenched flooring, bits of toilet tissue covered regarding,
