Day 7, am - Mommy's home today
I'm working from home today so I'm hoping that I can get him to go in the potty a little more regularly. He went this morning when I got him up but then he was at the door watching the trucks building the house next door I heard the tell tale sounds of a boy tinkling on the floor. I rushed over to see him standing there, watching it. I ran over to grab him and when he saw me, he pointed it out, very interestedly. There was no, "uh-oh!" or anything at all. Just kind of a, "hey mom! Look what I can do! Cool, huh?" So I put him on the potty but by the time we got there, he was all done. I left him there while I cleaned it up then went over and sat in front of him. When he saw all of my paper towels and Lysol, I got the "uh-oh" I'd been expecting. I made him turn off the iPad and look at me and told him that pee pee only goes in the potty and if he has to go pee pee, he needs to sit on the potty. It doesn't go on the floor. Only in the potty. He said yes. So we'll see. He had breakfast and is back on it now, but I don't expect any more pee. I did give him more juice and he LOVED it again so we'll get him drinking a lot again to encourage more peeing so we have more opportunities. I'm HOPING that we can get him to poop on the potty again. I feel like the more successes he has, the more likely he is to truly understand what we want him to do. I mean, when he's hungry, he goes over and tries to get into his booster seat. He doesn't exactly say, "hungry" but he'll point at the fridge and again, try to get into his chair for dinner. So if he can do that and recognize that signal, I have to think he can figure out the potty thing. Keeping my fingers crossed for better success today.
