We have exciting news to report on the potty front. Let's see. After the initial excitement of the potty, we got sick, Christmas came & went, and the potty got ignored. I asked Noah a couple of times if he wanted to pee pee on the potty and he'd scream, "No!" and run away. These are not things to force. Especially as a therapist, we learn more than I'd like to about pushing potty training too early. This is where words like "anal retentive" originate...potty training too early/stringently.
All to say, just last week, I tried re-introducing the potty again....with SUCCESS! Noah went pee pee on his Elmo potty Friday before his bath, Saturday before his bath, Sunday before his bath, last night before his bath, and 4 times today! HOORAY NOAH! We're still prompting him, but that's fine with me. At least it's a start. I sure would like for him to be done with potty training before our next little diaper-wearer arrives! Good job Noah!
