No luck on the potty today!

Comment Published at 06:5606:568 comments8 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport

Well as the title states there was no luck on the potty today ! He screamed as soon as I placed him on the seat and he jumped straight back off. Luckily though I watched him every second of the day today so no accidents and he even wore his undies during lunch and after as well. So that was good and even better when I discovered he had diarrhoea. Looks like it is definitely another tooth coming through so thank God that didn't end up on the carpet today!! I couldn't even imagine trying to clean that up!! I think I would have just bought more carpet LOL!! Yes it was that bad - green and runny - YUCK!!

Well heres to hoping I have more luck tomorrow - at least Sam will be here to give me a hand  cuz it's been a bloody tiring day today!!

Oh and darling hubby brought me home a bunch of flowers today and cooked me dinner because he knew how hard the cleaning up of all the accidents had been for me!! What a sweetie, I am SO lucky to have him!!

Anyway night all!! xox

Re: No luck on the potty today!

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments!! And all your encouragement!! And yes Jesse knows how to take all his clothes off now hehe - including his nappy (that's how the accidents happened lol) and his undies!! Aww and thanks hubby can be sweet when he wants to be . . especially if he knows I'm grumpy lol!! Better to shower me with affection than try and reason with me lol!! Well having hubby home for the weekend didn't help, Jesse reverted back to enjoying doing his business in his nappy . . so maybe Monday I can start again if he's interested!!

Love Samantha xox

Re: No luck on the potty today!

I hope he either decides nappy is best for a bit or decides to go for it wholeheartedly on Monday. There's a limit to how long either of you can face so many accidents!

Dont worry if he decides nappies are ok for a bit - my DD1 decided to train on the day we were all about to decorate the lounge. Me & (visiting) Grandma postponed decorating and chased her round all day with the potty - result - something in the potty every time, and something not! The next morning, absolutely no effort at all on her part, so we stopped trying too, and the lounge looks lovely! She got back to trying shortly after but didnt get it fully sussed for another 4 months. But if they dont try to play the game....

IMO potty training is one of the toughest things we do with Preschoolers, so there's no point making it any harder than it needs to be. In the days when our mums & grans had to boil wash terry nappies and line dry them regardless, I can see why they would have done ANYTHING to train a baby fast. But in the days of automatic washing machines, tumble driers and cheap disposable nappies, I thought, why rush?

Hope Monday is fun, which ever way he goes!

Hi Kathryn,

I think he's reverted back to the nappy ! He doesn't seem bothered at all doing his business in them now!! But oh well so long as the nappy stays on I'm happy. Once he starts taking them off again, it's back on the potty for him. I tried ordering some kiddy books about potty training for him but with the Aussie dollar being so low and buying online from America, it would have worked out too expensive! But I agree - I think this is the hardest milestone so far !!

Love Samantha xox

Re: No luck on the potty today!

You are so lucky to have a great hubby like that. At least now it is hot there is a little more outside time, so maybe to protect the carpet the great outdoors would be good? If there is too many accidents and he isn't co-operating don't feel too bad about going back to the nappy. Maybe start in undies but tell him if he has more then 2 accidents he will need to put a nappy back on. Just a suggestion as it is easier when they are ready and want to take themselves there. You don't want to be watching him every second and chasing after him is all. Better if he is happy to sit there. Good luck Sam but don't put too much pressure on yourself and him to get it this time. Is he taking his own pants on and off easily? Anyway, best of luck, Lynette xx

good luck on potty training!

I tried my son at 18 months and it was such an issue that I decided to ditch the effort. At 24 months or so, I tried again and though it was a lot better than the first time we tried, it was still a little bit of a strugle. Finally at 2 1/2 years old, it went like a breeze! Though I didn't like going out in public while he was getting trained, it made me nervous! lol
