Potty Training Boot Camp: Day 3
Gloria had a wildly successful day. She had no accidents at all and took her nap without a diaper. She still protested a bit at the first morning removal of her diaper, but it gets to be less each day. She even pooped in it again!
Daniel, on the other hand, has pretty much told me that he does not want to go on the potty. He is ok being without a diaper and will go hang out on the potty with his sister, but does not want to actually use it. He is going through a stubborn streak right now, so it does not really surprise me. At least he is learning his lower case “m” from all of the M&M’s that have been doled out in honor of his sister’s accomplishments.
I think Gloria might make it through church this Sunday! Daniel will be in diapers unless he suddenly changes his tune.
For those of you interested, here is a link to the basic “method” that I am using. Don’t let the title fool you though. Potty training isn’t a 3 day thing, but the initial learning process is. I think of it like learning to walk. Babies take a few steps here and there before they start to seriously toddle around and once they are toddling, they then still have plenty of spills as they learn how to really use their legs.
And, yes, they will be going around without pants on at home for a good month. The more success they have with a bare bottom translates into less accidents with pants. I would rather look at their behinds than clean up mess anyway!
And now, for a couple of “action” shots!
Notice the strategically placed dress and book. No, I’m not worried about the book as Daniel just doesn’t want to go on the potty quite yet.
Yes, that is chocolate on Gloria’s face!

That must be the vent that Daniel peed in.
