We have been sort-of potty training Kyle the last few weeks. If he says something we put him on it, if we ask, he sits on it. He always goes a little pee pee each time. There have been a few poo poos. He has even sat on the potty a few times at Aunt Erica's.
So I decided since I have off this week I will give it a real try.
Here are my thoughts or observations on how it is going so far...
- This could be difficult! But I know he can do it.
- I have no real plan, just going by what works each day.
- Sometimes he wants a yogurt puff for sitting on the potty, the next day it is an M&M and today it is goldfish.
- He always asks for TWO of whatever he gets that day.
- He can completely control his pee pee. He will let a little out, get excited, want it flushed and then do it again.
- He loves to wave bye bye to his product.
- He calls both pee pee and poo poo, "poo poo."
- At least 4 times after he gets of the potty within 5 minutes he goes poo poo in his diaper!!! That little stinker!
- I know that Brian is glad he is away the week I decide to really try.
- If this week does not work there is always plenty of time in the summer.
- I know that this can be done, now it is up to Mommy and Kyle working together!
Right now as I am typing this we are trying another strategy. He does not like to sit on the potty for a long time(we have read lots of books and sung lots of songs).
So today he is watching "hotdog" eating a snack and sitting on the potty.
I will update to let you know how much progress we make at the end of the week.
