potty training
I think at our house it should be called accident training. I'm not having success this week with Ethan. This morning he peed on the floor. After we cleaned it and had that LONG talk about where the potty goes, I decided he fully understood and would not do it again.
He then pooped in his pants in the playroom. So, I cleaned him up, put him on the potty and we had another LONG talk about where poo-poo goes. I went to change R's diaper while E was sitting on the potty and then I smelled something weird coming out of the bathroom. I jumped up and ran in there in time to find all the roll of toilet paper on the floor (in shreds) and the can of Febreeze completely sprayed all over his body, the bathroom and the shower curtain.
When I asked him what on earth he was doing, he said "My poo-poo is stinky, so I needed this good smell in here."
Yeah.

God's teaching me a lot of lessons through potty training Ethan. I potty trained Tess and Tom when they were under 2 years old and so I was so judgmental when it came to others who couldn't potty train their kids until they were 3 or 4. I'm probably going to be working with Ethan until he's 5!!
God has a sense of humor. :)
Oh well. I can see what you mean about waiting until they totally get it and then just doing it, in one day. I think that will be Ethan.
My issue with him now is, he doesn't mind sitting in potty at all! Its annoying.
