Hot Thursday

Good mornin!  Hope everyone is having a good day, hot here, had the kids go outside with squirt guns and play in the water table before it got to hot.  It’s drizzling now and wasn’t in the forecast,  Little girl is pretty, much potty trained but for some reason while I was making lunch yesterday she pulled of her pants, hugged me and peed on my feet, her potty seat was close by. Have no idea what that was about.

Interesting. How old is she? I have read where if they are too young, they aren't really potty trained, they just go when told, if that makes sense. "They" say the sensory part (which tells them they have to go) isn't really developed until 2 or 3. At least that was my reasoning for waiting until the boys were 3. LOL

Another hot day in Texas!

Cate and I will head to our friend's pool after lunch.

Good to see you back, FNW. Glad you had a good visit...but I wish he was doing better.

I'll keep praying for him, and your family.

Lindley, Cate about drove us nuts with the potty training. I feel your pain! She's only just quit having accidents a couple of months ago.

It was a long road.furiouswinkwink

I hope everyone has a good day!smile

 She turned two the end of February , she goes on her own in her potty seat so I have no idea why she did that except shes. just two :). Personally I would have waited, but it wasn’t up to me.  

I have no idea why my iPad is dropping letters off the words I type confuse

It does seem that a lot of parents are in a big rush to potty train. Possibly afraid of some stigma or something. I saw be careful what you wish for. When #1 was first learning to use the toilet, I longed for the diaper days, especially when we were at a Nats game and sitting down by the dugout. I lost track how many times I had to walk up and down those stairs with him to the bathroom only to arrive at the bathroom with, "I don't have to go afterall". Ugh. I appointed my DH as the "go to" for bathroom trips after that. LOL

My cousin has her Ph.D. in child psychology and has been a teacher/principal/school admin for as long as I can remember and when she told me she waited to train her boys until each one was 3 (and proud of it, she used to say) I figured if it was good enough for her, it was good enough for me! I never even tried before that, and #2 was 3 1/2. And even then, I started on a Sunday so that the preschool could take over for me on Monday. By Wednesday it was a done deal and they never had any problems at night.

Now if I can get them to help #1 with his mental problems....

I agree, sometimes diapers are easier then taking them to the bathroom, especially at that age.

I'm no help with potty training. DH and I parked DS at grandma's when we went to Vegas in 2016. He was a few months past his 2nd birthday. Grandma asked if she could potty train him while we were gone. Of course! We came back to a mostly potty trained boy. He wore pull ups for awhile so we didn't have to clean up accidents but was good about going to the toilet. It took him a couple years to fully night train but that was ok. We let him get there organically. Once we noticed he no longer had a wet pull up in the morning for a few weeks in a row consistently, we stopped buying them. He does sleep HARD so he occasionally has an accident but no big deal.

His biggest malfunction with the toilet is attempting to go anyway when we're about to be on the road for an extended time. I don't give a crap if he feels like he has to go or not, I want him to try to pee. He doesn't have to pee. He just has to try. That's it. He has yet to not actually produce some pee. I know him and I know he'll fall asleep in the car and I don't want my seat watered.

It took only a week if that long to potty train my daughter, but my son was a nightmare, he was almost three and it was a struggle.

I've heard boys were harder to train.
