Potty Training
At the end of last summer, I bought Noah a potty chair with high hopes. Well he thought it was cool to sit on but not really anything else. I figured at least having it around would help him to get used to it.Every so often I try to get him to actually go potty.. there have been a few rare occasions that he would go. Well as of recently he has been showing more and more signs that he is ready to start potty training. He has dry diapers every morning when he wakes up, his diaper is driving him nuts, and he now tells me either right after or right before he going to pee or poop. So for the last like month we have been working on it (slowly..), and he will sit on the potty several times a day but still is having a hard time actually going on the potty. He knows he should, but this kid is so stubborn, it has to be HIS way. Haha. I would say about about once a day he actually goes on potty on the potty. Sometimes every other day. We have lots of accidents. (Ironically, as I am typing this Noah had an accident. Ha guess I should be paying more attention..) Anyways, just yesterday we started with treats any time he went potty. So far, hasn't had much success. Most people tell me, it's too early to start but when he is showing a lot of signs that he is ready, I do not want to wait. Besides, the boy knows the entire alphabet, and 75% of all the sounds each letter makes.. I think he is ready for this! :) (oh ya, and the tiny detail that we have another little baby coming in July and I REFUSE to buy double diapers.) The big dilemma lately is that Noah will not wear his diaper... like way worse than ever before. He says it hurts, and fights and kicks and cries when I try to put it on him. He wears his undies a lot around the house, but I get nervous to take him out in those. We did do a quick hour and a half trip to Costco the other day and he didn't have an accident.... but that was probably a fluke. I am not really sure what do to... except for put 100% full force into potty training so I Noah doesn't have to fight with me about wearing diapers anymore. I have a cute pic of him on the potty but I don't have the energy to post it on here right now!
