So I wanted to follow up from my last post about potty training Owen. The evening I wrote that, Owen didn’t seem to want to cooperate….like at all! So I wasn’t going to fight the battle (until Spring Break)…actually I didn’t want Martha (Owen’s babysitter) to have to fight the battle, so the next morning we were back in diapers. BUT surprisingly…Owen told Martha ALL day when he needed to use the potty…and they would take the diaper off and use the potty! haha See my son is NOT a quitter! haha So I can say now (Sunday) we have had ZERO accidents and he’s using the potty full time! Wow. That was pretty easy! I guess the saying is true…if you just wait until THEY are ready your life is way easier!! Thank Goodness.
Our week was so busy! And that doesn’t seem to affect Owen’s potty schedules. We met my cousin Derek who was in town on business from Philly. Was great to catch up…we haven’t seen each other since our Ireland trip in July 2010. I know this is TMI but Owen even pooped that evening at Outback Stackhouse! Yes my child has to sit on a public toilet…hold on to the sides and all BUT…we wash up like he’s a surgeon afterwards. (ps. Any tips for keeping him as germ-free as possible when going #2???)
Swim Season has officially begun. We had our first swim meet vs. Norco…which didn’t start until 4pm. Mom had SARB meetings at work so she wasn’t able to get off early and pick up Owen. So poor Owen was stuck with us at the pool deck all evening! But he didn’t seem to mind….until around 7pm and he STILL hadn’t been fed dinner (yes I got the Mother of the Year award that night!) But Owen doesn’t mind meets…they aren’t loud and crazy like polo games (which he does NOT enjoy!)
| I love this pic…was take by a friend who was at the meet…Owen’s like a lil old man…sitting in his chair with his ipad in deep thought! Love it. | And this pic is added to my Mother of The Year evening. Owen was playing with pencils and came to me like this (note the marks above his eye)….yeah we coulda had a one-eyed little boy~ |
Okay - you have to tell me your tricks for potty training! I can't get Logan to even realize that poop is supposed to happen in the potty. Ugh. Congrats on your success!
