Potty Training

We are in the midst of potty training. The thing that seemed to work for Quincy to get him to go on the potty was being naked. Yep, just running around the house naked all day, with a potty seat in the middle of the living room floor. Of course Miles thought that meant he could also run around naked. That did not last long. After almost a week of nakedness, Quincy was doing great going peepee in the potty while naked. But couldn't seem to tell the difference between wearing a diaper and underwear, so diapers became for sleeping only. Thus started a few days of many accidents. Luckily it only took a few days for him to realize he was wearing underwear and peepee and underwear do not mix well!

He seems to have mastered potty training for peepee, even most naptimes and bedtimes he will wake up dry, and now even wears underwear for naptime. The other potty training is not moving along so well. The latest was this morning at Walmart, after a mad dash race to the bathroom, I had some fun clean-up to do inside the stall. Not fun. So hopefully he can figure this part out before too long, I'm really tired of all the clean up, although I have to admit I am getting more of a routine going and getting much better. I'm quite proud at how well he is doing so far, and just keep hoping he will things moving forward and not get stopped up with #2!

oh my, seems like Mom is going to need to be "time trained for #2" until he gets the hang of it. Good luck, and congratulations Quincy on the progress you have made to date. Hope to see you and Miles soon Love Gramma M
