I am sure those of you who have passed this stage with your children either chuckled or groaned at the title of this post!!!
potty training.....ahhhh, what an undertaking!!!!
I began to potty train my now 2 1/2 yr old boy, Andrew, about 3 weeks ago. We have been very causually using the big potty for several months, as I wanted him to be comfortable around it. Before bath time he would sit on it and usually not do anything but every once in awhile, he would pee/ it was great we would all cheer and he would be so proud.
He is an advanced little boy, began to walk a 9 1/2 months, climbed everything by about 11 months, including the rungs of the monkey bars, and was an early talker.
At 2 1/2 he has even been learing to speak greek (my 1st language).
so now to the ''dirty'' business, pun intended.
He has been peeing on his little potty for 3 weeks with great success. for the 1st week I left him with no bottoms on so he wouldn''t forget he had to go sit on the potty. Then by week 2, we put on underwear and he would take them off when it was time to go. Week 3 we added pants on top all things great!
The only times he wears a diaper are at naptime and bedtime. He hasn''t hardly left our house, either bc I didn''t want to be going back in diapers, but in the rare time he did leave, we put on a diaper, and often it would be try.
Problems, so far only 2 small poops on potty. Usually, he goes in his diaper after his nap or this week, he has been pooping on the floor!!! thankfully, most of our house is laminate flooring but the bedrooms have carpet.
The worst incident occured a few days ago. He pooped behind the kitchen table and then came and told me. I ran over to see it, scolded him, put him in his room so I could clean it. when I was done, I went to his room to talk to him and let him out only to see he had pooped in his room and rubbed it all in to the carpet!! pushing a toy all through it and a book, it was so disgusting!! I was fuming, and frustrated.
Hubby put him in the tub so I could go after the carpet.
We didn''t have this trouble house breaking our dog!
so, to all of you have been through this, what can I doooo??????
What sort of incentives did you give him??????
Here is a picture of Andrew at work...lol
