Well, I have not been pushing this in any way, shape, or form however, Elijah has decided that he likes the potty training thing. A few months ago we bought a potty because he showed interest. Then he lost interest. Lately he has shown interest again so I started putting "big boy undies" on him after getting him up in the morning. Usually he either pees through them and doesn't say anything or he doesn't pee until I put a diaper on him after lunch before nap. Well, on Thursday I heard him start to tinkle on the floor and said "no, no, go to the bathroom." He ran to his potty and slammed the door behind him. Five minutes went by and I checked up on him...only to have him slam the door and say "go away". Five minutes again, same thing. Finally five minutes later a beaming Elijah comes out "I poop in the potty!" Well, he didn't poop, he peed but it was exciting just the same. He got to call Daddy and tell him and get a candy "prize" . Well, since then he has gone pee 4 times and poop once. I can't believe it. He is very candy motivated. Jake just ordered a gumball machine online. We won't use gumballs but some other round candy will do I'm sure.
Here is him dumping into the toilet. The best part is he got to flush. Way cool since we don't let him do it for us. We tell him you have to pee in the potty to flush the toilet. Well, he finally got to flush...and we clapped.
Here's him getting his goods. I know, why did I get a picture? I was excited okay.
Now we have to wash our hands and then we get to pick out our candy prize. Smarties, licorice, jelly beans, gummy worms...so many choices!
Anyways, I have a lot more things to post. This weekend was a busy one with Elijah's birthday. Hopefully I will get to it all!
