Onto our update on potty training
Well we have been trying different methods for a long time now with Isaac. My honest thought is that we started way to early and then once he figured it out he chose not to.. So he knows what to do when to do and how to do. He just stubbornly doesn't want to do. So we took a break for the month of August we just changed him when he needed to be changed didn't talk to him about it and didn't put him on the potty or anything. Monday of this week we started up a new method. 1st day is a freebee day then from then on a little punishment for peeing and pooping in the chonies (boy undies)!
Day 1 went super smoothly. No accidents. Isaac had a blast peeing on the new Froggie potty.
Day 2 went awesome until around dinner time when he had an accident in the chonies. Of course that means it was time for a little punishment. Which was to get a cool shower to clean off all the ick. Unfortunately I think he enjoyed getting the cool shower so about 30 min later he did it again. So back in the cool shower. So I decided to threaten no Chocolate malt with mom for dessert if he had another accident. And that seemed to clear it straight up we were back on track.
Day 3 another awesome day. We had a minor poop incident in the chonies in the morning so we tried the shower punishment again. So I made it a little bit cooler and hosed off more than just his waist and below. I went all the way up to his shoulders and he was not impressed with that. But we didn't have anymore accidents yesterday. And that included being out and about. We went to the school, the bank, and the mall. No problemo. So hopefully we are on the right track for having a fully potty trained almost 3.5 year old. I would like to point out he stayed dry all the way through nap time 12:30pm-4:15pm WOW!
So here we are DAY 4 and starting off strong.. Fingers crossed we keep up the awesome work.
