Today was more and less successful than day 1. It was more successful because we had less "accidents" and less successful because Jaiden never actually went potty on the potty.
I began today similar to day 1. I told Jaiden we were going to wear big boy panties (I can see all of the men cringe with my use of the word panties but too bad) and that he was going to use the potty. Jaiden likes his potty. His potty looks like a real toilet. It has a flusher, that doesn't actually flush but he can press it, a toilet seat, and a toilet paper dispenser. It is a deluxe potty. In my last post, I mentioned that the potty talks. Well, it has a sensor in its "bowl" that when activated by urine or poop will trigger the potty to sing and praise the kiddo who used it. Like I said, Jaiden likes his potty.
This time I didn't constantly give him liquids. He drank when thirsty and at meals. But for some reason I still could not get the timing right. Jaiden's first accident occurred during breakfast. I even tried to put him on the potty 15 minutes after we started, but that just wasn't soon enough. Oh well, I would get it next time.
His second accident happen an hour and a half later. I wasn't sure what his potty schedule was but after the one hour mark, we sat on the potty about every 15 minutes. I would read him two stories, to make sure he sat there for a little bit, and then he would go back to playing. At one point, Jaiden came and stood right in front of me and then just started peeing. Drats! Ok, ok. I decided this was a good time to talk to him and let him know what it is he is doing and what I would like him to do. I then sat him on the potty, hopefully to associate the two acts together, and read him another story.
This went on for the rest of the day. When daddy came home, he took over. Still with no apparent success. The potty didn't ever get to talk. I'm beginning to think that Jaiden isn't quite ready yet. I haven't decided if I will try tomorrow or wait a couple of days. We will see how I feel I'm the morning.
If anyone has and tips or tricks or advice, please share. Thank you!
