PoTtY TrAiNiNg...NoT WhAt It UsEd To Be!!!

So...Here is a brief recap of last weekend in our home! We decided it was time to start potty training Jaron...so we laid out all of his "totally awesome" super hero underwear and Wendi started off the day putting him in a brand new crisp pair of "big boy undies"...which Jaron really thought was cool. Jaron sat on the toilet...did some tinkling...and then got off as Wendi set the timer for 20 minutes...all along asking Jaron if he needed to go potty. 2o minutes was up and Wendi grabbed Jaron to take him to the toilet when she felt a warm and damp sensation on her hand...Yep! You guessed it...Jaron had gone in his pants...thats #1! Wendi reprimanded him and put him in the shower to rinse him off...this went on pretty much all day...2,3,4,5,6, maybe 7 times. Saturday afternoon we were tired and Jaron was tired and we had decided to give up...but then I (Ryan) had a brilliant idea. Jaron LOVES playhouse disney so I got him all situated in the bathroom and put him on the toilet and said "As soon as you go in the toilet you can get off"...well that idea backfired as you will see from the picture below! Apparently Jaron is not ready for the toilet!




What a trooper!!!!!

Haha! I am laughing so hard at that picture! How funny! We are going through the same thing with Mister Chayse right now. For a few weeks he would hold it til we took him and he was always dry..but he would never go on his own..so it made for some pretty painful releases at times..haha. No its all over the place. I seriously HATE potty training! Alexa will just have to be in diapers til kindergarten! Just kidding..

Here's what I've found with my little boy... if he has something on his lower half (diaper/underwear) he usually ends up going in it. If he runs around with no pants, then he takes himself to the toilet as needed. Today was the first time he actually asked (twice!) to be taken to the toilet (in a public building, no less!) when he was wearing a diaper. So, you could experiment with leaving the diaper off when at home and see if he'll use the toilet more. It works for us...

Wow the joys!!! I have been real lucky with Alivia. I didn't really plan on training til she was around 3~That was what are doctor told us was a good age. But I had a friend say age doesn't matter just start when they think they are ready. One day we were at McDonalds and Alivia said I want to go potty!! She did and since then we have never put diapers back on. She has had a few accidents, but it has been 2 months now and it is very rare for her to have an accident. It will happen now that he is exposed to the idea hopefully he will decide it is much easier that way!!! GOOD LUCK!!! PS I have heard Boys are harder than girls. I am already dreading potty training Austin.

Wendi! I found your blog through, well it's embarrasing because I don't think I even know them... but anyway. So fun to see you guys and when I saw "Sondrup" on the blog list I just smiled. (I don't know if you remember that, maybe Ryan does.) Come see us and I'm looking forward to keeping in touch the blog way. www.richardandjo.blogspot.com
