That was the line from the "Potty Training 101" DVD that told me the disc was full of horse hockey!
But since we are officially in potty training mode, no turning back, I gave it a look.
All these cheery moms and dads who obviously have nothing else to do other than play in the bathroom and take car trips to get used to pottys in public.
Seriously???
We have taken a slightly less "bubblegum" approach, but hopefully progress will be made!
We set up the bathroom downstairs to be "Potty Training Central"
We take potty breaks every hour.....or more since somebody seems to pee at either the 55 minute mark or 2 minutes after leaving the potty!
And since there are times when I KNOW he has to go, we sit down for the long haul!
One time (two times now!) we have gotten lucky!!
With a commemorative wave, he gets to flush...
And enjoy a delicious cookie!
Happy dances all around!
Now if only we can make this happen more often.....
I have to say, this has been the most challenging part of parenting thus far! I am almost positive I have already given him a complex by making him sit on the potty all the time! How on earth is he supposed to use public restrooms when it takes sitting for at least 20 minutes before something happens???
Lord, give me patience to survive the next couple weeks and not harm a small child in the process.....
