| Ocean can't hike without collecting sticks along the way :) |
It’s been obvious for a while now that Ocean wasn’t as ready to potty train as I originally thought. Some days he stays dry without any accidents, other days it’s one pair of wet underpants after another.
I think the main issue is that he starts to pee, and then
runs for the potty. He’s not quite as aware of the situation as he needs to be
just yet.
A bit frustrating, but now that we’ve realized what’s going
on, it’s easier to be calm about it.
These days we give him the choice: underpants or a pull-up. Some days he chooses underpants, other days he chooses a pull-up. And more often than not, the pull-up stays dry for most of the day.
I usually put him in a pull-up at nap time, and always at bedtime so I'm not doing so much laundry. There were a couple weeks where I was doing so.much.laundry, and it just wasn't working.
Saturday when we were doing yard work he had a pull-up on, but several times he peed on the ground, all on his own (what is with little boys and their delight in peeing on the ground? River went through a phase where he would go outside to pee, then come back in the house.) So he's learning, it's just taking a bit longer than we'd prefer.
