Well, here we are...in the wonderful days of potty training two kids! lol I knew these days were coming. And I've actually tried to hurry them along on several other occassions. But...Jayson has now been daytime potty trained for a little over a year now. And he WAS doing both in the potty for a little while. However, was is the key word in that last sentence. AT some point, he decided that he liked the comfort of pooping in his diaper at night or first thing in the morning better. Then, about two months after we moved into the new house, he decided that pooping anyway but the toilet was better. So, he started pooping in his underwear too! We have tried incentives, punishments, taking things away, and just taking him out of diapers completely! He was even staying dry at night! But he is still pooping his pants and his mother is about at her wits end!
Ava, on the other hand, has done really well with potty training. We started putting her in underwear during the day about three weeks ago. For the first week, she had an accident a day. And it was always only wet accidents. Since then, she just goes running to the potty when she needs to go or tells me that she needs to go if she is in for a nap. She stays dry during her naps. And has even worn underwear to church twice with no problems. She even goes poop in the potty...all by herself! I have tried to praise her infront of Jayson so that he will get the idea that it is a good thing and that he will get positive attention when he goes in the potty. But minutes later, he has pooped his pants again!
I am proud of both of my kids for their accomplishments. And I know that all kids are different. I just wish I knew what to do to help Jayson understand that he needs to use the potty for #1 & #2. But nothing seems to hit home with him. Hopefully this changes soon!
