Here's something that will make your knees feel better ...

DS used his urinal tonight! Twice! I'm very proud of my little man!

DS started taking off his diaper, throwing it away, and sitting on his potty yesterday. He tried using both the potty and the urinal yesterday but missed. DH showed him how to pee standing up yesterday and again tonight. He totally nailed it tonight. We won't rush him but we're totally excited that he has started potty training. He'll be 20 months tomorrow and I'm thinking that if he keeps this up, he'll be trained by two.

Potty training is officially under way at Maison de Chef!

Any tips on teaching him how to wipe when he poops would be much appreciated.

We did wipes. To make sure they got clean. You just have to teach them to wipe with tp and then make sure you're clean. Congrats though. The key to successful potty training is to wait till the kid is ready!

 That's what I was thinking. He's used to baby wipes and he knows how to get them from the container. I figure starting with wipes would be an easy middle step (so to speak). He's already comfy with the wipes so when he gets comfy wiping himself and is good at making sure he's clean, we can start with the regular TP.

I went out with my parents last night, and my boyfriend ate an entire pint of ice cream, drank a ton of soda, and ran around the house in what he called "naked frolic time".
This morning he is still silly. He says he cannot be left unsupervised EVER EVER. I am inclined to agree!
Naked frolic time was immediately post shower, so there were puddles of water everywhere when I got home, and he had spilled soda and wiped most of it back up, but threw the towel in the clean hamper instead of a dirty one, and ALLL of the couch cushions are off the couch and scattered throughout the house.
There is a towel on the front lawn.

Morning.

I'm in a sleepy haze as well this morning.

My potty training tip? Be consistent.

Congrats chef. It's been so long since I potty trained my DD that I can't remember what actually worked...So not much help.

Busy packing and getting ready to move next week. Have a great Thursday everyone!

 Well, that made me laugh this morning.  But the real question is - was naked frolic time on the front lawn, too?  Because you might have to move, now.

I wiped my boys' for awhile. Still do if it's real messy. I would make a point to show it to them, so they understand they need to repeat until clean. Eventually they got it.

Potty training was one of those milestones I was not looking forward to, so I basically timed it so that they would be at preschool for the first few days. And I waited until they were old enough to be ready. There's something to be said about diapers. Just ask that lady astronaut.

They learned to stand and pee by watching the older boys and from DH. I teach them to aim and wipe up the rim or floor (at home only) if they miss. Before they started kindergarten, DH taught them how to pee without dropping their drawers.

The towel on the front lawn is probably the answer to your question, LL. I'm guessing they live in a rural area, so maybe no nearby neighbors?

I think he ran out on the steps and threw towel. He is not one for running outside barefoot.

I have to pick up SS tonight. Both boys have a dental appointment at EIGHT AM tomorrow. Someone kill me now. Our insurance is ending this month so we asked her to squeeze us in. She did. Since DH isn't here I'm sure I'll be on here at six am complaining!

 We will probably have to wipe DS' butt for awhile. I don't think he has the patience to stay still long enough to wipe thoroughly. The only times he's still is when he's asleep or engrossed in a show.

Probably, chef. For a long time mine would sit there and yell, "I poo'd, come wipe me!" I did it a couple times then figured if they were old enough to expect it, they were old enough to do it themselves.

 It took us forever to teach SS to wipe.  He was too lazy.  At eight he still wouldn't wipe.  His parents talked him to death about it.  One day I called him into the laundry room and showed him five pairs of nasty undies.  Then I tore his butt up.  Never had a problem again.  So yes, consistency early on is the key.

My kids are good about it now, at age 7, but if it's really loose, they'll call me in for help. That doesn't happen too frequently.

Well FNW, that's because you're a good mom who actually pays attention to that stuff. It was really hard to teach SS stuff on just the weekends when his mom didn't make him do it. At ten he is just now learning to brush his teeth on his own. I mean he's always brushed them without help but he's just now getting to the point where he doesn't need a reminder.

I used to go to this babysitter who had 4 kids of her own. The older boy was about 12. He always left his under pants inside out on the bathroom floor instead the hamper & they always had skid marks. I mean always. I was only about 7 but I was so disgusted.

Lexxy, SS's mom is one of those absolutely no spanking people. DH will spank but only in a dire circumstance. Playing with fire, running in the road, hiding from us for half an hour. I am somewhere in between. I don't spank at the drop of a hat but I do think it works sometimes. When I tore SS's butt up and the nasty underwear he never did it again.

I'm actually getting really tired of it. I probably won't watch long. It's the same thing over and over and I'm really kind of pissed at the way he's turning his back on his girls. They still need him around, but he's out with his new friends all the time.

 I love to read & always have a book going.  I don't watch much reality TV.  My guilty pleasure is House Wives of OC.  I also picked up a few this summer.  One called Married at First Sight & one called Seven Year Switch.  Pretty much what they sound like.  During the fall lineup when all the good shows are back I don't watch any reality TV.  Oh wait, some seasons I do catch Survivor.

The only "reality tv" I watch is "What Would You Do?" and, sometimes, Judge Judy.
