Potty Time!


We've decided to give potty training a try. Try is the key word here. Tyson has been asking several times to "go potty". We decided we'd give it a whirl. Sunday he spent about 40 minutes straight on his "big boy potty" with no results. I did laundry, cleaned the bathrooms, read him a couple books and he brushed his teeth. I even stuck his hand in warm water to see if that would help him along. But nothing! We tried it again later that evening and he didn't end up going either. But he is very excited to sit on the potty and he told Daddy over and over when he got home that "I go potty, I go potty!" It was very cute, but the kid just doesn't want to get off the pot! He threw two of the biggest fits in his 23 month history yesterday when it was time to put his diaper back on! We want to start being very consistent with it since he's showing interest in trying, but the aftermath is what is making me not want to potty train the kid! We'll see, yesterday was only day 1...I talked to his teacher at daycare and let her know we're starting to try. She said she's been letting him stand at the toilet there while she changes other kids diapers. I asked if maybe she could sit him on it since we're teaching him to go sitting, not standing. I think if he stood it could get a little messy! Anyway, I couldn't resist taking a picture of our first official potty training session!

Gotta give him credit for trying, but bummer that he isn't yeilding results... maybe he should try going #2... =) hehe
