I think I'm going to try to potty train Isaac starting tomorrow, using the 3 day potty training guide...gulp. I'm not super confident this will work, but everything else I've tried recently just isn't working. I know a lady I used to work with tried this with her boys and it worked out really well and I just recently came across a blog post where a mom tried it with her son and it worked. I've tried putting Isaac on the potty every hour and it wouldn't go for me. In the past two weeks of trying he has only actually gone on the potty 4 times. Currently any time I put him on to go, he immediately wants to get off. I've done the sticker rewards system and even offered toys, but he doesn't seem to care. So now I'm desperate. He'll be 3 in October and just seems too big to be wearing diapers. So mom's, please help. I need some encouragement. Any potty training tips would be helpful as well. I know boys are often slower at this sort of thing, but I'm determined to get this kid trained :) (Okay, I'm sounding more confident that I really am... )What am I getting myself into???!!! Hopefully by the end of the week I can post about how excited I am that Isaac is potty trained... I'm putting this post on here to make myself actually do this. I need to be accountable somewhere otherwise I think I'll give up before I even start. Oh dear... starting tomorrow morning I'll be hopefully starting the 3 day potty training plan my son...we'll see how this goes. I really, really hate this sort of thing...
I leave you with this silly song/video I found on youtube.
UPDATE - Day 1: 6 accidents, plus 2 times in the potty and with him letting me know that he had to go (these were the last two of the day) = we will try again tomorrow. Plus he woke up from his nap dry too! Hoping the last two times of him telling me he had to go means that's progress. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
Day 2: Woke up to accident #1 - he peed the bed. Weird since he has been waking up with dry diapers and I didn't allow him any drinks after supper. He had 2 accidents after that and then after his nap he woke up, had a drink, and then told me he had to go potty. Yay! The next time he started to go and stopped and made it to the toilet to go the rest. And since then has told me he has to go. Praying this continues and hoping he doesn't wet the bed again. We'll see what Day #3 brings. I'm exhausted and really hope he's catching on. I think we need a day out of the house...hoping that can happen soon.
