It's Potty Time!




We've been lazily potty training over the past several months. I thought it would be easier to train by just using a small seat on the big potty. But, Streed really is not too fond of it. So, the other day I bought an actual potty chair. It is called the Royal Potty AND it makes music when you do your business. Streed LOVES it! I thought the music was just a waste and not really a big deal. Why I thought this I don't know. Streed has loved music since he was only a few months old. He gets so excited and immediately begins to dance when the music starts. Mama sent him a potty chart that has a choo choo train on it, which also excites his little 2 1/2 year old heart. You will notice I put the potty chart high on the wall. I didn't want him messing with it and pulling it down repeatedly. We are putting ABC stickers on it with each successful potty attempt. He did great the first day, Friday, and has been not as forthcoming since then. However, this morning he walked right in there and sat down and tee tee'd on his own accord. So, I think we will soon be buying only one set of diapers. I cannot imagine what it will be like to have him potty trained. I am shooting for him to be fully trained by Beach Project.

I'm so glad the chart is helping a little. I'm so proud of my Streedie. I know it's hard work. The key is consistency, which is so much easier said than done. Keep up the good work moma, daddy and Streed. G

Hang in there! Potty training is not the easiest time in the world, especially since you have a second child. He'll do it though! Just be consistent and potty often!
