Re: Potty training
I did this over the summer. Audrey was trained in a day. Natalie still poops in random corners of my house.
I waited until she sort of understood what the potty was for, we watched a video about it and then I sat her down on it whenever I went. I'd be lying if I said my DCP didn't do most of the training. It was like one day she just didn't need a diaper anymore. She was pee trained at 2, never wore a diaper overnight from 2 on, but the poop thing came around 2.5, even closer to 3. I had to bribe her with a new book/princess cell phone to poop the first time and then - NO PROBLEM!
My kid has peed the bed ONCE in 2 years. Her camel like bladder combined with her daycare situation made this easy as 1-2-3.
I'm not letting it go til 4. But he just turned 3 like 5 days ago. I've been told that 3 and a quarter to 3.5 is the magic time for many boys. But if he's saying that about being a baby, it might be time for the boot camp. That's what my friend's son was doing, she did the boot camp over winter break and he's not had an accident yet. It's something about changing the mindset from baby to big boy. Ethan freaks if I say only babies go in their diapers. He says, "NO I'm A BIG BOY!" and gets really angry. But, he also wakes up with a 10lb diaper- he's never "held it", so I'm not always convinced he knows what the sensation of peeing is. He's peed in the potty and then been surprised at seeing pee in there.
I'm telling you man. Camel bladder. It's insane. Also my DCP did most of the training.
I honestly lucked out. I have friends with nightmare stories. Including one friend whose daughter refuses to poop, on the potty or off and has to give her enemas every 10 days. Horrible. Its luck of the draw.
You get a punch for being lucky too.
Well, you could have one of those poop smearing kids. I'm thankful E has an aversion to any dirtiness on his hands. I know someone whose daughter used to dig in the diaper then smear on the walls. It's usually girls who do this.
I can guarantee E will have accidents since he's too busy to be bothered to not sit in his own waste.
