I am now potty training for the third time- I should be an expert. I thought about trying to potty train Mark over the holidays when Jeff was home. Mark was not into it and just didn't seem interested. I would put him on the potty and he would say, "Put my diaper on, I don't want candy". I knew I shouldn't push it, so we waited. He really wasn't showing an intrest, but I had potty trained the other boys at about his age and I didn't want to wait much longer so I gave it another try. At first he resisted, but I got the older boys involved- we talked about being very excited for Mark and showing him how to be a big boy.
Step 1- always be naked (ready to sit on the potty at any moment)
Step 2- sitting on the potty, sometimes for a long time
Step 3- Look for "pee-pee" in the potty.
Step 4- celebrate!!! Mark's reward for pee-pee is a dum-dum sucker, but for going #2, he gets Ice Cream!!!
He has definitely been the most challenging, and had the most accidents. It's taken a little more time, but he is ready and after about 2 weeks, he is doing very well! I am so proud of him and I am SO happy to be done with diapers!!!
