Okay, so I have been slacking...big time, when it comes to this blog; but honestly with so much going on I am not sure when I would have done it!! My grandpa is in his new apartment, and so I will have a bit more time for typing and will spend a bit less time driving, and I am looking forward to that. I look forward to seeing his progress as he finds his groove in his new home, and I look forward to the visits that we will have with him now that he is not in a hospital. We are all much happier, and I hope that he gets back some independence along the way!
On to the news of the day......drum roll please.....I have decided that it is time for POTTY TRAINING!!!! The reason this is such a big deal, is that Pandaman has zero desire to potty train......AT ALL!!
My Ladybug was already potty trained by the time she was his age, and it was accomplished in about 5 days...start to finish. I have no such dreams that this will happen this time around. I have read and re-read the "No Cry Potty Training Solution", and many other books; visited forums for advice, and still feel that I am totally unprepared for this step. On the other hand, I HATE pullups and diapers, and I am really done......so here we go!!!
I started out this morning by letting him pick his underwear (Lighting McQueen, of course) and talking to him about how he will pee in the potty and NOT in his pants. I then walked him to the potty and sat him down......nothing; so I set the timer for 30 mins........at 8 mins left, he peed on the floor!! hahahahaha
Okay, I expected all that, and I really have no problem with it......especially since he said "Mommy, potty time" right before he peed on the floor!! To me that is success, a small one but a success none the less!! I know he can do this....it is just a matter of figuring out if I can!!
Alright, everyone (or anyone who is reading) wish us luck....I can't wait to be able to stop buying pullups and diapers!! That will be a glorious day!
