All potty trained except the potty part...
So, I wrote earlier about my almost-3yo who was resisting potty training.
Since then he has turned 3 and has shown very clearly that he is physically ready to train. We just have to get him to go along with it :-) In the past several weeks, he has become very sensitive to having a wet diaper, and asks to have it changed as soon as he pees. For the past several days, he has begun doing the "potty dance" before peeing. Today, he danced, wiggled, squirmed etc. for over an hour before finally peeing. In that time we offered him the potty, took him out to "pee on a tree", even told him to go ahead and do it in his diaper and we would change him (which is what finally happened, but not when I suggested it). He has also woken up dry for the past several days. (For about a week before that, he would pee at 4am then wake me to change him! ack!) He still has yet to sit on the potty naked, though he regularly sits on it fully clothed. He is obviously so close, he just has to want to do it. Hopefully that piece will come soon --Robyn (mommy to Ryan 9/93 and Matthew 6/96 and Evan 3/01) |

It was #2 that was difficult...because they aren't used to sitting to go, they are used to standing and doing it in their diaper. All I can do is wish you the best of luck at this point. All kids are different. -- Mary |
