2 wet diapers is all that Ryden had today. The rest of it went in the potty and one time on the floor. I know this probably means nothing, because it usually takes a LONG time for children to potty learm. I also know that he is much younger than most when it comes to potty learning.
However, unlike most others, I have been working with Ryden and the potty since he was a little over a month old. Never all the time, just some of the time. Well, now I am wondering if some of that is actually paying off.
Most of his wins have been because of me and timing. That is how it has always been. But as of the past couple of days and maybe a few weeks, I have noticed a couple of changes.
1) He has started to say pee pee at times, although it is usually after he pees. There was one day last week when he said it, I rushed him to the potty and he pooped. I flooded him with cookies (which only live in the bathroom) and he was quite delighted.
2) I think he is starting to hold it. Which if this is the case, I am beyond excited. The only diapers he peed in today, was the one I put on him right after he woke up and the other was at my mom's house. I tried to give him a pottytunity there, which he was having none of because we had just walked in and he wanted to play with all of his toys at grandmas. I also gave him a pottytunity at Publix. :) The other time he peed was right before his bath and it was immediately after Eric took his diaper off. It had been a couple of hours since his last pee, so, I think he waited. Even if it was on the floor, that is fine by me. :)
3) Lastly, he knows what it is and whenever I put him on the potty he tries. Even if he doesn't have to go- he still tries. It is so cute.
I know better and am not getting my hopes up. But each day I take off dry diapers and he pees in the toilet, I feel we are progressing. I also think this is an optimal learning time, because he still is in to pleasing us and hasn't become the ultra negative two year old!!!
No matter where this gets us, I will run with it!!!!!!!!!
love,
one super happy mama
