potty talk

"Do I look funny, mom?" How would you respond to that? Me? I laughed and grabbed my phone. 


Corban turns 5 in September and is barely getting the hang of potty training. When I got pregnant with baby #2, I DID NOT want to change 2 bummies. No, thank you! I pushed him hard when he was 2 but he is kind of the stubborn sort and refused. I was too sick to fight that battle, so he went back into diapers. I tried again when he was 3. And again when he was 4 and he got it!

Something clicked and he has been doing really good. Notice the key word, "has". Recently he has been pooping in his underpants and pooping on the floor right next to the toilet! I make him clean up his own messes and his TV privilege gets revoked. Just to show me, I swear, as he's cleaning the poop up in the bathroom, he'll pee all over the floor! He's even told me, "See. That's what you get when you make me clean up my poop."

I have tried every method out there, I swear. And they would work for about a day. What potty training method worked for you?

  2. Little boys in underoos are the best. :)

    My best potty training method was to wait. With Lily, I just couldn't face it, so I put it off as long as possible. She was so ready, that we did it in one day without a single accident! I wish I'd done that with the 3 before her!
