It is officially potty training season in my house, and it kicked my butt today. Nolan went through 12 pairs of underwear and never actually “went” in the toilet. We are doing the sit-on-it-once-an-hour thing. He sits on it for about 15 minutes and we read books. Then we try again in another hour.
Nolan is 2 1/2, and I do not want him in diapers any longer! When he started saying, “I’m wet, mommy. Please put a new diaper on me.”, I knew it was the start of a new era — one in which people control their bladders.
My son is smarter than I am. He is already convincing me that changing diapers isn’t so bad, something I never thought I’d say.
Stumble it!
Good Luck!
I tried this summer, and it was a bust. Ryan turns 3 next month, so we keep telling him “When you are 3, you can’t wear diapers anymore! You’ll get to go in the big boy potty, isn’t that exciting?!” Hehe. We’ll see how it works.
My daughter just started daycare (March, she’ll be 3)- and they suggested ‘no diapers when she starts’. So, we did and 3 weeks later, she was pretty much potty trained. She still has about 2 accidents a week and she sleeps in pull-ups at nap (home) and bedtime. -We’ve been to the Dr. for her stomache because she’s having a problem with Mr. 2, she just doesn’t want to let that go in the toliet yet… anyway… good luck and be patient.
Thanks for the encouragement, Jen and Lesley! Nolan will be 3 in May. He peed in the potty twice yesterday, but he would not poop at all. I decided to let him run around naked, and it seems to help (he tends to hold it instead of going everywhere). Can’t wait until it’s done!
