Potty Training Tales.

[Martin Calvin]

My son has jsut started with potty training. He started selecting spots around the house to go a couple of months ago, and has also learned to tell us potty (and pat his diaper when he's going). We started in with potty training slowly and aren't pushing it too hard yet because we don't want to have WWIII with a two year old. The fact that he's ready now is good enough. But in this process there have been some really comical moments.

One of these happened while I was at work the other day. Jonathan had to go potty and pulled his pants down and diaper off in his room with out my wife knowing it. He pooped on the rug and came out to find mommy. After convincing my wife that he had to have a baby wipe she gave him one and followed to see what he would do with it. It was at this juncture that she came across the acident on the floor. Jonathan was ahead of her and was already using the baby wipe to pick it up off the floor and ran into the bathroom with it, throwing it into the toilet.

It's kind of agravating to be so close to having him potty trained when you see that he get's it. But we've got a long way to go

My son was around his 3rd birthday before he started to be ready (I mean really ready, we had had some successes just after his second birthday but I don't think he was ready, I was just fed up with nappies) So we kept him in nappies until he was 3, it's our Summer here, so he was able to run around the house in undies, or even bare. Nappies for if we had to go out until he was more reliable at home.

That is a cute story of him going to clean up his own mess, that shows that he is getting some connection of what happens to the poos.

It was a while after my son was reliable to do wees on the potty, then he was able to do poos, (so there was quite a bit of messing up his underpants if you know what I mean)

When we were training our son we let him run around the house without any bottoms. He wanted very much to be successful so he sat on his potty chair and tried to go. After a minute he looked at me and said, "How it work mommy?" I had no idea what to tell him. He got up and was playing when he started to pee. He looked down and said, "Oh, now it work." I had to leave the room before I burst out laughing.

My funny "potty story"; my oldest and my twin neices are 5 months apart. When they were about 3, we were all at Grandma's house for some family gathering, and I went looking for the little ones, it was too quiet- you know the drill. Anyway, I found them all in the bathroom with books, one on the potty chair, one sitting on the toilet, and there was my son with his little bare behind hung over the bathtub. I has tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard. That was a kodak moment if ever there was one!
