Potty training day 1

So far so good. Only two accidents and he stopped himself half way through and ran to the potty to finish. It's kind of funny to watch him get the urge because he freaks out and is not totally sure where to go. Should I stand here or do I go to the potty? He also doesn't seem to want to empty completely. He'll let a little bit go and then stop and pour it out flush and come back for more.

Two tips so far. If you have another child (younger) have someone else watch them. It's hard to nurse and take someone to the potty at the same time.

Put your bumbo away. It looks too much like a potty and well it might get used as one.

At the end of the day.

Joshua didn't have any accidents in the afternoon. He wasn't telling me when he needed to go but he would take himself to the potty. I am so proud at how well he is doing.

We have only had one small problem and that is when he sits and goes well it doesn't always all stay in the potty. I have had to clean up more than a little wayward potty. Maybe tomorrow he will start telling me when he needs to go.
