We're not pushing it, because of the new sibling & because of the age (contrariness) and also he can't get his pants on & off yet. But he has the vocab. I'm wary of even talking about it too much, lest he notice that I am the slightest bit invested.<BR/><BR/>What might work is backing off from the full time "training" and just having Marko help him with the potty when they're hanging out together. If Cohen is anything like Arlo, Daddy is pretty damn cool these days and their little bed/bath routine has included a joyful potty sit for quite a few weeks now.<BR/><BR/>The nurse at the hospital was on crack. I can't even pee in a cup most days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836819.post-10178863546088586212008-08-20T23:06:00.000-07:002008-08-20T23:06:00.000-07:00We starting with Mathias in February because we ha...We starting with Mathias in February because we had the time off. We bought the seat that fits on the adult toilet too. I bought him big boy underwear and everything. He was always having "accidents". He didn't really understand the concept either. We thought we were making progress near the end of the two weeks, but then Mathias got sick and it all went backwards. We still have the seats in the toilet and let him sit on it whenever he wants. I have potty books in the bath room for him to read too. I also have the same book as you...I love Elizabeth Pantley. I like her no cry sleep and no cry disclipline too. A few months ago we started to have Mathias walk his poop to the potty and have him flush it away. He understands that the poop belongs there. We haven't had any luck with pee. My girlfriends' boys weren't trained until shortly after three years of age, so I'm not holding my breath. As long as Mathias is not afraid of it.Mathias and Summer on a life adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342779541251073819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836819.post-16616609114884675632008-08-19T12:13:00.000-07:002008-08-19T12:13:00.000-07:00We're just introducing the idea here - apparently ...We're just introducing the idea here - apparently the general wisdom (from health visitors, our nursery, our friends nursery etc) is to wait until little boys are 2.5 before starting as it takes them a bit longer than girls sometimes.Trish @ spiritofplace.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119890087339740758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836819.post-67478962657522867102008-08-19T08:53:00.000-07:002008-08-19T08:53:00.000-07:00Try throwing cherios in the potty and having him &...Try throwing cherios in the potty and having him "sink" them. Dylan loves the game, and loves to pee in the potty. He will go, then swear he needs to go again, only to produce a molicule of pee, because the cherio game is so much fun. (We did the m&m thing too, Dylan did exactly what Cohen is doing). As for pooping in the potty. If you figure out something that works, let me know. Cause well lol.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198905897967169674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836819.post-25109355261055526382008-08-19T08:49:00.000-07:002008-08-19T08:49:00.000-07:00My little girl is almost 4 and we potty trained at...My little girl is almost 4 and we potty trained at 2 with the naked routine. We started off with letting her being naked and taking her to the potty every 15 minutes then worked it up to every 30 minutes. Then it just clicked for her. We also used the M & M thing. She got one M & M for going pee pee in the potty and one 2 for going poo in the potty. She did not get any for just setting on the potty. Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
