Potty training ?s for moms of boys
So, Sims is really good about using the toilet. Yay! I'm excited and my dad is too, because he told a perfect stranger about Simon pooping on the potty, which is just... weird... He's awesome during the day, but we've never tried going anywhere in undies or night time.
So, we have a smaller seat that goes on the regular toilet seat. How do I get him to pee standing up? I'm not sure how to handle going out if I have to hold him over a regular sized seat. I can't see how I'm going to get through this process without getting soaked. I've heard about cheerios - just throw some in the bowl and tell him to aim next time?
Re: Potty training ?s for moms of boys
after a while of sitting and yes I held him, or more so let him hold my leg while sitting on a public toilet. ( I dont have issues with public restrooms....)
I said here lets stand up. We at home have a Higher toilet, but he had no issues with standard and the ones in stores that have the split in the seat you dont even have to lift. I just told him... "ok stand close lean a little forward. hold it ok go- and he did it. and now he does it most of the time when we are out- even when there isnt a bathroom if need be.... all by himself.
At home he is still using his seat sitting because of the toilet height but anywhere else it isnt and issue!

Mine only pees standing up in his training potty or the small potties at school or in a urinal (according to DH). On a regular toilet, with or without a training ring, he just sits to go. He doesn't seem to show a strong preference for one way or the other.
For the first few months he always sat. At public restrooms, he would sit but I would hold him under the armpits so he wouldn't fall in. Now he is strong enough to hold himself up on a regular potty, even if it is a little big. I don't personally see the issue with actually sitting on a public potty unless it is visually gross.
After a few months, when he was used to aiming his parts down while sitting, DH demonstrated how to pee standing up. He got it without a problem. He's short, but on most pottys he doesn't even need to stand on a stool.
