Potty Training!


Ah potty training.

The preparation:

Me: Buying Thomas the train underwear, buying kid friendly carpet cleaner, buying stickers, printing out potty chart, getting the bathroom prepped, and pulling out all absorbent rags.

Noah: Nothing.

The training begins:

Me: Using said carpet cleaner, rags and stickers! Meaning Noah is a potty going success (only if naked, sigh, not so good for out of the house trips).

Noah: Going potty! Getting stickers! Enjoying the freedom of running naked around the house!

As for the rest of it...well that is taking a lot more patience. He does great at home but once we head out he has many accidents which then means many trips to the public washroom. But one step at a time! As for now we are cheering on his successes.

End Result:

Stickers for Noah. Patience training for Mommy and Daddy. A win win situation!!

  2. Yay Noah! It will all click. I remember always panicking about leaving the house. I would leave carts full of groceries to find a bathroom. We made many stops at a local high school parking lot for Hugh to pee...always needed to go pee at the exact same stop...like a mile from the house...for like two weeks! You just gotta laugh at times...and it is the BEST patience test there is...at least in my book. Praying for you friend.
