Coby has been potty training for about 3 weeks now and he is doing extremely well!
He started when I was home injured from falling down some steps and hasn’t really looked back. It did take him a while to go for a wee on the potty, as it is obviously a bit scary doing it the first time, but once he got used to it, he can basically wee in the potty on command! He is also doing a poo in the potty most of the time as well, but there has been a few accidents, mainly due to laziness, and we have had to clean up a few ‘spillages’ from around the front room and conservatory.
We tried to get a poster going, which we did with Ben and Aaron, so that when he used a potty, he could put a sticker on it on the relevant day, but after day 1, he wasn’t bothered about it at all. 😉 He would rather do a wee in the potty and then go and empty it himself in to the toilet! This has been a bit of a nightmare as he has spilt it on several occasions as he insists on helping to carry it up the stairs! 😉
This morning was the first time where he has actually said ‘poo poo’ to Kelly and ran for the potty, so he is starting to really get used to it. We have been carrying a potty around with us recently and he has been able to hold on until we get it out for him, so he is getting the strength in his muscles to do that and the knowledge that he needs to hang on. A lot of the time he is going around in his newly bought ‘George Pig’ pants, which he is quite proud of, so I don’t think it will be too many more weeks before he is using the potty perfectly!
WELL DONE COBY!! xx
