Well, if CootieBoy hadn’t been sick all day, our first day of die-hard potty training probably would have gone a bit better. We cleaned up the carpet a LOT today – but not because of potty accidents (okay, well one of them was).
He was totally fine with not wearing a pull-up all day – in fact, I think he enjoyed the freedom that came with wearing underpants. And he was okay with standing at the potty every 20-30 minutes just in case he had to go. But at least three times he had accidents – twice in the TV room and once while washing his hands after receiving a candy reward after pooping in the potty successfully. THAT accident was frustrating because he had just spent 10 minutes on the potty about 60 seconds before he peed.
Hopefully CootieBoy’s stomach virus is gone and tomorrow we can concentrate more on potty training rather than vomit avoidance. I am going shopping in the morning and will be putting together a potty training chart for stickers and such, although I don’t think he’ll be as into it as a girl might be. He really does have a mindset of “Eh, who cares?” about the whole thing.
