We started legit potty training exactly a week ago with Mason, and he's been doing well with it. When we first started out we had a little kid potty that looked like a beagle puppy and the guard for it was to low, and Mase ended up peeing on the floor more often then not and boy when that kid has to pee he really GOES! LOL there for we had a mess on him, the seat of the potty the floor and anything within 2 feet of him. So we went to Meijer and got him a the foggy potty the eyes on this thing come up to his belly button, NO PEEING on the floor ha ha! We tried to give him an M&M for a reward. 1 for sitting on it all by himself, 2 for pee 3 for poop, but my son is some sort of garbage disposal and will literally eat just about anything you put in front of him and if he wants to eat it but cant reach he'll monkey a way into getting it of the table, or kitchen counter. so giving him M&M's had to stop b.c he sat down and saw the M&M's he'd go nuts wanting more and more and more with out doing any business on the potty and would cry if I didn't give them to him! So we switched to a sticker board, Shane brought home a poster board and stickers and i made a poster for him and every time he goes pee or poop he gets a sticker and after he gets 25 stickers he will get to pick out a new matchbox car (which is special b.c he only gets them for holidays and his birthday).
Golly isn't potty training fun! I will say it is so far the most challenging adventure Ive been on as a mother, midnight feedings ya that was hard, sick baby, ya that too, but potty training is like a whole new world of crazy, I feel like I spend most of my day in the bathroom singing potty songs and waiting for Mason to finally go! This is one adventure I defenatly can't wait to be over!
