Holy cow!!! They were outside playing when I went to pick up minisnick yesterday. After he put the toy away he was playing with he ran for the swings and wanted to be pushed!!!! He usually screams bloodly murder when we try to put him on the swing at the park. We ended up staying at daycare for another 10 minutes to play on teh swings. The wee wee wee's are much better than the screaming. If the winter weather stays away, a trip tot eh park this weekend might be in order.

those who have potty trained little boys, does the reward method work? Minisnick gets stickers for everytime he goes on the potty. I made a race car track on poster board that we put the stickers on....lots of winds and curves...so hopefully we will be out of diapers before we reach the end of the track.

The best way to potty train both kids was daycare. Both of mine were hesitant to stop using diapers until the peer-pressure of their classmates got too much to bear. We originally attempted the reward system with my son (similar sticker/posterboard approach), but he just didn't seem to respond to it very well.

 

[snickerd3]

Thats what I was hoping for but right now he is the oldest in his grouping. ALthough they said since minisnick is starting to use the potty they might start using him to peer pressure one of the preschool kids into using the potty...the kid is almost 5 and still not potty trained

One reason daycare pushed potty training so hard is that once they're 3, the school couldn't move them into the next classroom until they were trained. Something to do with state laws for staffing & equipment for rooms that have diapers. Each classroom had its own name and represented a single age group, except the 3 yr olds who were split into 2. Pull-ups were ok for the older kids as long as they were only used for naptime.

All I know is that I'm glad we're done with diapers. I went shopping for a baby shower gift a few weeks ago and was floored as to how expensive those damn things are. I still don't know how I could afford diapers for 2 kids (shortly after my youngest was born).

Diapers have gone up huge this past year.

I just found out we have another one on the way, so I hope we get #1 potty trained soon. He's 2.5 and shows little interest in trying. He uses the ptty very seldom. What age do boys usually get weened from diapers?

 

[ElCid03]

Little El Cid is not really interested in the commode either. I also do not wish to buy diapers for two kids.

Mini-ble1 is completely potty trained except for when he sleeps, and most of the time he doesn't go during his nap. At night he will almost always pee in his pull-ups, but there are times that he doesn't and wakes up wanting to go to the bathroom. We didn't do a reward system with him really. He loved doing the peepee dance after he went to the bathroom in the potty and I think Mrs. Ble may have used some Winnie the Pooh ink stamps to reward him after going for a couple of weeks. He really picked up on it quickly, which was great because supposedly it took me a while to be potty trained. Mrs. ble used a technique she read about online that called for the kid to be naked from the waist down for 3 straight days around the house. After that, you were supposed to wait a few weeks before you started putting underwear on them (obviously we had to use diapers at night and when we took him to the child watch at the Y). He loved being able to run up to his potty and just sit down and pee.

It helped out a lot that he was trained before mini-ble2 came along so now we only have 1 in diapers. Good luck Snick, cdc, and elcid!

Well, mini-MS #2 came into this world EARLY Monday morning. 2:15 AM to be exact. He can poo and pee with the best of them.

 

[Ble_PE]

Congrats MS!!

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Congrats!!!

 

[snickerd3]

congrats MS. I forget, does that make two boys or one of each?

Every time I mention getting my junk snipped now, the wifey-wife scowls at me.
