I decided today, that since Tim and I are both home...stuck cause of all this snow... it's a perfect opportunity to buckle down and work on Asher's potty training! He was doing really good about going to the potty, without being told to, several months ago. But after he had to be admitted to the hospital with croup in November, he digressed. He wouldn't go potty for the 2 days in the hospital unless it was in a diaper; then when we got home, it was as though he had never been before! SO... I decided today that we'd get back into the groove! I got out the timer and set it for every 20 minutes. When the timer went off, we ran to the potty. Tim and I took turns taking him, but we went every 20 minutes all day long. I am proud to say that he only wet the underwear one time, and pooped in another pair! So...on our first attempt of being a "big boy," he only had 2 accidents! I was very sad on the wet pair... he was doing so well going pee up to that point. Can't be sad about the poo... I know he'll figure that part out later!
I guess tomorrow we'll try again... every 20 minutes to the potty! Here's hoping it doesn't take long for him to catch on & just start taking himself when he needs to go instead of when the timer goes off! Wish me luck! Once I get him trained, I'll start on Bella!!!

Oy...good luck with that. One thing I'm not looking forward to (but will be glad not to have to buy diapers!)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea on the timer!! I might have to try that this weekend!
