We have all passed a lot of water since then.Samuel Goldwyn (1882 – 1974), Polish-born U.S. film producer.
My toddler is ready for potty training. My eldest daughter was potty trained at one year and 5 months, while the next a little over 2 years. Now, my one and only boy is going to begin his potty training today and I am honestly scared and not looking forward to it.
I have been meaning to begin his training months ago. However, since we have moved house 2 months ago, it is rational for him to familiarize himself with the house first before we could begin potty training as potty training has alot to do with confidence, awareness and anxiety to children.
We are more or less settled here now, and I am honestly tired of changing diapers and is looking forward to some savings since his nappies cost an arm and a leg. Having moved and changed lifestyles eversince we left abroad and settled here, I have not changed diapers since the children are very sensitive and when I did try to downgrade the nappies to those cheaper ones, their bottoms became riddled with rashes that I declared it not worth it to change their nappies. The children’s comfort and sanitation should remain a priority, I surmised.
So, after reintroducing the mighty potty to my boy and I explained to him that he needed to inform Mommy if he wanted to do a pee-pee or poo-poo so we could do it together at the potty. Then I realized that I have never potty trained a boy and I thought there might be some confusion with the urination side since my boy has only seen and been aware of girls ever since we left his father last year. No role model…
I have read in one of those i-village articles that boys are sometimes easier to teach how to urinate by teaching them to do it sitting down. My sister who has a son swears by it also… however, I hesitate to take her opinion to heart because her son still continue to pee on the bed even at 5 or 6 years old! My daughters has never really given me trouble with bedwetting…
Anyway, my boy used up 6 briefs and 2 pants already. Since this is the first day, I tried my very best not to be mad and to be encouraging especially after his accidents. I still praised him for being a big boy for using his briefs and potty. At least everytime he pees on himself, he would ran to me and say, “potty now.” Then he would ran to the potty after he had informed me. At least I am happy to know that our problem just sequential. Any potty stories to share?
