Day Two: Finally Improvement
Jaimie on Aug 5th 2008
Every time I have tried potty training CJ before, I’ve given up after a few days or a week. Usually because there was never improvement of any kind, and actually usually it got worse instead of better. And he NEVER, and I mean never, peed on the potty.
Two weeks ago he told me at taekwondo that he needed to pee, and went in the bathroom there and PEED on the potty. At that moment I realized hey, maybe he’s actually finally ready.
And I think I was right. We started potty training again yesterday, and although the morning went badly, the afternoon was better. The evening was even better, and he stayed dry overnight and has had no accidents all day so far today. And we even went out to Target to buy more underwear, with him in underwear, and he stayed dry. He sat on the toilet at Target twice (his idea) but no pee. But that’s okay.
He hasn’t pooped yet today… although in the past we’ve had success with pooping on the potty we haven’t lately, and yesterday we had two underwear accidents with poop and none in the potty… so we’ll see. But things seem hopeful.

Awesome progress, CJ!! *cheer*
Go CJ Go! Maybe you’ve tried this before, but do you have a sticker chart or some sort of positive reward thing? I know kids (and personal preferences) are different, but just thought I would toss it out there!
