Yesterday I embarked once again pn potty training Carter. I tried back in January and got frustrated and after a few days I gave up. As I was on pinterest I saw a post about potty training in a day and decided I could do this. I would link it if I knew how to link using the iPad app for Blogger...
I started yesterday. I gave him lots of koolaid and goldfish crackers to get him to drink more. We set the timer for every fifteen minutes and he lived in underwear. He wore plastic pants for nap and night no more diapers! We had 4 accidents yesterday but we stuck to it and he has been very cooperative.
Part of the training is to use a doll to show examples of accidents. You take the doll to the scene of the accident and you run with the doll back and forth from that point to the bathroom repeating "No pee pee on the floor, pee pee on the potty." You do that 10 times and hopefully the child will start to understand that we don't just go that you run to the bathroom instead. It is a lot of work but Carter is responding so I guess I will continue to look like a crazy woman until it sinks in.
I had a great helper yesterday with Leilani. She helped with Keller when I needed her I was tempted to take her out of school for the rest of the week to help me!
Today went fairly well and then Leilani came home and it went so much better. We had half the accidents and no accidents during nap time yay! So I expect tomorrow to be crazy and have accidents like crazy but we shall forge ahead!
I had to take a picture of his cute okole in his new underwear. The other picture is Super Hero Cartay Potay and he is going to conquer this!
