Success!
Jaimie on Aug 25th 2008
On Sunday, CJ, of his own volition, went into the bathroom and used the toilet for both peeing and a bowel movement. At the same time in the same trip, but still. It is like a miracle.
He also pooped in his underwear and on the kitchen floor… but, well, it still is something.
The biggest hurdle we face in potty training is the communication factor. CJ just won’t tell us he has to go. If we remind him constantly, he will go and use the potty (for pee) but he doesn’t take initiative to use it himself. Stop reminding him, and he just pees in his pants.
So him going himself of his own initiative was just amazing.
And an act not repeated. But, still, it gives me hope for the future. But several soiled pairs of underwear later, I’m back to reminding him.
Baby steps…
