One step closer to being free of Doodie Duty.

Good luck. It took the longest time to figure out what would get my boy to use the toilet. Then one day, not in the mood to gingerly remove crackgood from the seat of his underoos, I hung them over the toilet, prepared to gently urge it out of the britches. Once the idea of his Big Boy pants hitting toilet water entered his brain, he started screaming, “DON’T PUT MY UNDERWEARS IN THE POTTY MOMMY!” and cried.

An immediate trigger hit. He was informed that when there was poo in his underwear, they would have to be dipped in the potty water to remove poop from them. This would not change until he started using the toilet and stopped doing it in his underwear. Two more incidents, and he was trained.

Of course, he was also three years old, and pull-ups are just fancy diapers to a toddler. He was not convinced that they were big boy pants.

Chocolate cupcakes. Little ones. Totally made Isobel rock the pooping on the toilet. Because I went hard and fast with the bribes and chocolate is SO worth it to a 2 year old, apparently.

Perhaps if you promise he can flush every single poop. Kids do love the flush, might work.

We are completely pee trained over here, but poo? NOT HAPPENING. Sigh. She asks for a nappy, hides in a bedroom and poos, then comes out and asks to be changed. I think I will have to do what Zoeyjane did and go hard and fast with the bribes, because MAN I am over pooey nappies.

Hahaha! Oh that last line!

When we knew for sure that the boys had to poo we would not let them off the toilet until they pooped. Yes they cried. A lot. But it worked. And when they finally did it they got a Hot Wheel (for the first week anyway). I don’t know why but they were always so scared of pooping on the toilet. Pee? No problem. Poop? AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Good luck!

Ah, nothing like sitting down at the computer with a warm cup of coffee and reading poetry.

You rock.

Now I have to clean coffee off my screen.

Amos last blog post..…and leave the key under the mat too.

Wait until he brings you a handful of poop and says, “MOM! Look what came outta my butt!”.
Potty training can suck it.

Now there’s a young lad who needs to be taught the joys of the OUTHOUSE! A couple of trips to one of those and he’ll be HAPPY to use the potty.

I can NOT get Kaitlyn to understand the concept of using the toilet, and she is 3 years old! She has both the potty chair and a ring for the toilet, and sure, she’ll sit down for me, but she won’t GO. I’m worried she won’t be able to start preschool in the Fall!

Yeah, the “shitting in pants” thing takes a little while. I’m hoping that once the potty thing is under control that the rest is all downhill. Right?…… Right?????

Jennifers last blog post..Just checkin’ in

Yay for progress in potty training! My son is 15 months old, so my only personal experience with potty training thus far is the one child in my care (I work at a daycare in an infant/toddler room ages 13-24 months). She’s really mature for her age, though.

Good luck with #2!

Well, number two takes longer to master, I guess. He’ll get the hang of it. Happy Friday!

Shitting in pants must
stop, but then comes the challenge
of wiping your butt

Nice potty ‘ku!

It took my son FOREVER to figure out the poop. Just wait, once he is able to get it into the potty instead of his pants, there’s still the whole wiping issue. I hear “MoooOOM – I PoooOOOOPed” at least 3x a day. Joy.

Ashlie- Mommycosms last blog post..Haiku Friday: PMS

I would suggest letting him go sans-diapers so he can’t poo in his pants, but we know how THAT ends up,now don’t we? Good luck!!

HappyCamperss last blog post..Sharing A Secret….

That totally cracked me up and made me a tiny bit sad at the same time! I hope he gets the pooping thing down soon!
