Seth definitely had me fooled this time. Day one of potty training went so well I though we had this all tied up and he would be potty trained by dinner. (Not really of course but he was doing great.) We decided to go with a sticker chart which is hung up in the bathroom so he can see all of his stickers and we have a potty seat that attaches to the regular toilet with a step and handles. We also decided to go with pullups during the day and use a diaper at night since we know he won't wake up at night to pee and he usually has a pretty full diaper by morning. We started first thing when he got up and went straight to the potty. Sure enough, his first time on he peed on the potty! We celebrated and put up a sticker. We continued trying to potty about every hours during the day. He did amazing! We had four times he peed in the potty and once he pooped in the potty...on the first day. He had two wet pullups and a poopy pullup, but the odds were good. We celebrated each time and put up stickers.
Then flash forward to day two. We aren't even done yet and I'm ready to pull my hair out. We have only had pee on the potty once today, and it was probably luck more than anything else. We are still going every hour...but Seth just wants to flush the toilet and play on the step. When he does sit on the potty he screams about pee and poop but doesn't do anything but sing and laugh. I think he lulled us into a false sense of security. We are currently focused on trying to get him to tell us when he has to potty before it happens, but we aren't there yet.
Wish us luck! I hope we survive...
