Well, two nights ago we started to potty train Grayden. We sat in the bathroom with him for 45 minutes, and read his potty book to him. He was doing great, not scared, was reading his book, and he even peed in the potty!! We were so proud of him, and gave him lots of praise. Earlier in the night we had him in underwear and he did not make a mess. So, we thought this went really good. Until the next day, we tried and he would not go on the potty. He sat on it finally, after awhile, then he started crying. He was not going to use the potty. I put his underwear on him, he peed in them. I toook him back to the potty a little later he peed in front of it. This is how the day went, he pretty much peed on the floor or in his pants and cried. He wanted his diaper on, so we finally put it on. Then we tried again today and he sat on it for like half and hour, still would not go. We put the underwear on and he didn't pee in them, but I could tell he had to go. So, we got the potty out and he started crying and peed on the floor. So, looks like he is not ready to go to the potty. We even tried using stickers, and told him he would get a toy with five stickers. He was excited about that but not excited enough to use the potty.
Potty training is not easy, let me tell you. I have been reading alot on it, and looked on the web. They say that girls are much easier to train than boys, and that they actually tell you they want to pee on the potty. With boys seems they are very reluctant to use the potty, and most do not until three to four years old. Even at 4 they are still wearing pull ups at night. You need alot of patience, wich I thought I had, until now. This is a whole different battle, in which you will not win unless your toddler is ready to go on their potty. In fact you will be suprised by your little one sassing you telling you NO they are not going to go on that potty chair no matter what you say or do. From what I am reading he is not ready, so we will wait a couple more months and try again.
