Potty Time

There has been potty talk in this house for quite some time now; however Nico has not been under any pressure to use the potty. Luckily he enjoys talking and reading about sitting on using the potty. Many kids are often afraid to sit on or flush the potty, but not Nico. He finds it entertaining to sit down, flush toilet paper and then excitedly tell us, "Mommy, Daddy, I did it!" Nico even has a pottying schedule at school and whenever it is time to change his diaper, the little man sits on the potty and participates in the whole pottying routine.


A couple of months ago I splurged and bought Nico some Toy Story undies. He was very excited about the idea of the them and some days he even wears them over his diaper to school. This way he can get used to pulling them up and down. Then other days I let Nico wear just the undies and run around in the backyard or downstairs. In the last week or so, our growing boy, on his own, ran to his potty chair and peed! Needless to say we are very proud of him and he is so incredibly proud of himself. I am learning that with little boys, most of the pee goes outside of the potty even if that is not the goal!

As you can see, Nico completely missed the potty, but he was sitting on it, so according to Mommy, it counts!

The next try some pee-pee actually landed in the potty! Woo Hoo!

We still have a ways to go, but the important thing is for Nico to start using the potty regularly when he is ready to do so.
