So dada is pretty convinced that Liam can potty in the toilet. Since it's a long weekend we are giving it a go (when did a long weekend suddenly turn into a great opportunity for potty training? My how life has changed!).
Kev did a lot of the actual running to the potty w/ Liam (I was making a banner & prepping other bday party stuff!). I'd jump in when I heard the celebration that Liam was going on the potty, fill in when Kev needed a break or had something he needed to get done, etc.
The morning started off slow. The book we read said pump them w/ salty snacks, juice & sweets to get them going & going & going! Didn't work for Liam. 1 1/2 sippy cups of juice & two pees in three hours (we missed both & cleaned the carpet twice, by the way!).
Then, things got moving & one of us (again mostly Kev) was on it! For nap he did wear a pull up & there was a poop & he did pee, but was asleep for 2 hours, so we will take it.
After nap, things flowed (literally!). I swear that kid was on the potty every 20 min.! We got 4 pee's & of course missed his poop as we ate dinner. I will say Liam seemed truly uncomfortable with the poop situation (he accidentally stepped in it). It took a while to clean him up & convince him it was "okay" (no tears, but he just seemed grossed out). No worries, he snapped out of it for bath time :)
I think Kev got one more miss & one more pee on the potty before bed! All in all, not a bad day! I've cleaned 2 loads of laundry, our recliner & Kev cleaned countless spots on the carpet but in my mind this day was going to go much worse. I meant to get a photo of him on the potty BUT we were so busy I never had a chance to get one.
Next time!
Ahhh! Finally time to relax (nice to not be chasing a naked toddler around). On to day 2, wish us luck!
