Poop Camp; AKA: Potty Day

Friday, September 7, 2007


How’s it going? No seriously. You tell me. I have NO idea. I’ve read pretty much every piece of advice on the internet and two books. I’m done reading now.

What I do know, the good:
- My kid LOVES to sit on the potty - sat on it for at least 4 hours total today.
- He likes the concept of staying dry and being rewarded for staying dry. “I’m dry mommy!” he says with great pride.
- He likes his big boy underwear and requests a new pair after an accident.
- He LOVED Potty Day and had a really nice, low stress introduction to the potty concept.

What I do know, the weird:
- He is unable or unwilling to relax and pee in the potty. I mean, if I spent 4 hours on the Jon, something would have splashed in there eventually.
- He consistently peed in his underwear about 2-3 minutes after getting off the potty.
- I suspect he doesn’t know when he has to go and yet he must have some control or else he would be unable to avoid peeing in the pot considering all the time he spent on it.

So, I’m giving the day a C+. I’m really pleased that there were no tears or angst. I think his love of the pot and the underwear and the “dry pride” is all really great stuff. But I am bewildered by the complete lack of success of getting urine in the toilet.

Oh, and as far as poop is concerned, forget about it. He gets a pull up for naps and nighttime, and I suspect he’ll be pooping in them for, like, the next 2 years.
