Wordful Wednesday: Potty Training Terror

Don't let his cute looks deceive you, he can be trouble.

Yesterday we were all set to try potty training again.  I set my timer- every ten minutes would take him to the bathroom.  We would celebrate that Lightning McQueen was still dry- no pee wash for him!

Almost two hours went by, sitting on the toilet about every ten minutes, still always dry.. still never peeing.

Then finally success!!

Much to both of our surprise he actually peed on toilet.

We danced!  We cheered!  He got two starbursts.

Then we began the process again, except this time I let him go a little longer so he could finish his show.

Okay lets go to the bathroom now I said.

"Okay" as he ran to the bathroom.  I went to pull of his underwear- it was soaked, as well as the couch where he had been sitting.  Sitting in soaking wet underwear in a big wet puddle without the least bit of awareness...

...this is going to be a long long road.

  5. Do you have a little potty seat? Maybe he could sit on that to watch shows. I think most kids aren't aware of much when shows are on?? It took Ethan SO LONG too, so I feel for you. Good luck!!!!!

  6. We don't- just a seat that can go on the regular toilet, but yea I am thinking of getting one, though I am afraid then he would just pee while sitting on it and not even realize it and learn

  10. I won't share our horror stories... The couch has had many such puddles. Then all of a sudden he figured out how to pee in the potty on Monday. Yeah! He will get it. Eventually. (And mine will too!)

  13. I have just begun to address the potty training issue. I'm not looking forward to it. I truly believe it is the worst part of parenting a toddler! Good luck to you!!

  16. Yes!! The only people I know who like it are the ones that have those crazy kids that just one day say I am a big kid now and hardly ever have accidents

  18. Oh girl I will be thinking about you during this process...it's a tough one and so frustrating!

  19. He is cute... but don't give in to the cuteness! You guys can both do this.


    Is there something that he really wants? Maybe a new toy or book? If so, tell him that at the end of the week if he does stays dry during the day he can pick one out. Or something along those lines.

  20. The trouble is- most of the time he is more than happy to go potty. He will even pause his show, whatever he is playing to go potty. So he isn't fighting me about going, but sometimes in the times between he will pee all over himself and it isn't until I say, okay lets go potty and I point out that he is wet and he will look down and be like I am? He truly doesn't seem to care or know.

  21. Yes, I have done it twice before-- but the way he is having problems is just baffling to me.

  22. I hate potty training. Good luck! To think he couldn't even tell. *shakes head*
