And It's Started....

The beginning stages of potty training that is.... Oh the joys of Potty Training.

I think the Energizer Bunny aka EB aka Turbo will probably have the least restrictive potty training experience on the planet. After all the joy of potty training Goober, I don't want to make the same mistake again. I WILL NOT make this a power struggle. Been down that road... don't want to visit again.

So basically potty training Turbo will be all his choice. No pushing from mom.

Today he asked me if he could use the potty... so I let him try. He sat for a couple then decided he was done and wanted to flush the potty. Great. Nooooo problem. Then I asked if he wanted me to put a diaper on him or undies (I bought him some undies the other day, just in case). For the first time he responded undies. So we put some one him.

I have no clue how long those undies will stay unsoiled, but HEY! He wants to wear them so YIPPY! it's a step. And if they become wet and he doesn't want to wear them anymore... fine. Great by me. I'm not going to push it. I truly believe that that was my #1 mistake while potty training Goober... that and the fact that I didn't know how to tell if he was "ready" because he is my oldest child.

Honestly, I don't remember much about potty training Missy. It went to smooth... I was just happy it was done. I think she was done in less than a week. Goober on the other hand I struggled with for years. If you think I'm kidding, I really wish I was. I potty trained Missy while I was still trying to potty train Goober. They are 2 years age difference. You do the math.

I am bound and determined with Turbo to make it all his choice... he has a couple of years till I have to make it more than that. And at that point I can talk logic (though not much).

Anyhow, wish Turbo luck and cross your fingers that he chooses to do this quickly (for me, ya know.)
