I totally forgot about this until I read something a bit ago about this gal who got teary telling some toddlers how good they did.. Last night DS at bath time was standing by the potty and said pee pee. So when I undressed him I thought what the heck and sat him on the big potty. He was pushing and pushing and passing gas he was pushing so hard and it was kinda funny. And then a tiny bit of pee came.. and when I pulled him off the potty there was the smallest little poop in the toilet too. all I could tell him was how good he did and what a good boy for going in the potty.

We will not have a nightly ritual before he gets in the bath to sit on the potty. Even though I know he is in no way ready to potty train. lol

Re: 18 mo old went a little on the potty last night

  • That is so super exciting! We have started having Ava Nichol sit on the potty before and after bath and teaching her words for poop and pee and potty. When she shows more interest we have training undies for her. I am excited for potty training but at the same time dreading it.

  • My DD potty trained her self almost.. She started at 12 months and did really well for about 4 months. And then she decided it was easier to go in her diaper. Well, in order to start the daycare we wanted she had to be 2 1/2 and potty trained so at 2 I told her these things and she pretty much trained her self again because she was so excited about school.

    I KNOW I will not get that lucky again. Especially with my stubborn little man. lol

  • That is awesome that your DD trained herself! Sounds like your DS is on the right track though :)

    I had the 2-2 1/2 year olds in daycare and had to potty train them before they could move up to the next class. Not every kid is ready that early so it was tough but a lot of the kids did really well. I am trying to use the same techniques I used there.

  • Aww awesome! I've always heard boys are harder to train so you have a head start.

  • We are doing the same thing with DS.  Before bath, after bath, anytime he is obviously going to poop, and several times during the day.  He loves flushing the toilet, but has only actually done anything in it a handful of times.  We figure we aren't going to push it, but as long as its fun and he's interested, we'll encourage him. 

    We use cloth dipes, so I would just love him to poop in the potty, cause I can deal with pee diapers. Our goal is to have him daytime trained by next summer when he's 2 1/2.
