I posted a couple weeks ago that it was time to start our youngest potty training. I thought that it may be time for an update. It's only been a couple weeks but I must admit that we've had very few moments that made me feel like we were making progress.
We now have our two year old in pull ups and he loves them because they have Diego on them. To go back to diapers now would be an insult on his new found "big boy" status. We have our potty seat, and I must say the seat we purchased is fabulous at catching little boys missed aims. I highly recomment it. We've been taking him to the potty every two hours. I know consistency is the key to training but I must admit it is frustrating when I take him, he goes, and ten minutes later he's wet. Really!?! When he does go we do the pee pee dance and he loves it. I considering stickers for each potty to make it even more rewarding.
Just when I feel defeated and wonder if we started to soon, he'll do something that makes me believe we're on the right path. The other day we went to the bathroom on his own and was struggling to get his pants down. When I came in to help, he went. That was a big moment for me because he tried on his own and I knew he understood what that strange feeling meant.
Now, those that know me know, I'm a pretty competitive person. I want my kids to be also, so why can't our little fella potty train quickly? Shouldn't he be an over achiever? Shouldn't he hate wearing wet pants? I've come to realize, it's me, he's doing what he should be doing. I just need to have patience and one day it gonna just happen. I can't wait for the day he comes to me and ask me to take him to the potty.
