I have been very busy potty training Joel for the past week. Through all this potty training I have learned a few lessons that I would like to share with you.
- You can never have enough clean underwear the first day of training.
- Boys can soak dry underwear while going potty on the toilet.
- Don't start them too young. They get this whole potty training thing MUCH faster when they are old enough to understand it all.
- Potty training children sometimes fear having the first bowel movement on the potty. I have learned the trick.....refried beans morning, noon, and night!! After two days they can't help but have a BM!!!
- Be careful how hard you grab and yank on the zipper to your little boys jeans. You just might grab and yank something other than a zipper.
- Do not play hide and seek with a potty training child. When they are looking the other way for you and you scare them when you run up behind them...they will scream VERY loudly and wet their pants.
- Get very excited with every success. They really are proud of themselves. I am cherishing every huge, potty training smile I have been shone!!!
- Stick with it...even if they seem to be having a horrible attitude about it!!
- You will so enjoy seeing your little boy out of a diaper and into underwear!! They are so cute running around the house "ALL GROWN UP"!!
