The first time I tried potty training Levi we didn't have any luck. We took a little break and tried about a month later. I really wasn't expecting much to have changed in only one month but I was wrong. He did MUCH better this time around.
The first few days he got so excited when he would pee that he would immediately pop off his potty to show us. So it took several times for him to get it all out.
This was his signature potty sit for a while. He would sit down, lean forward and fold his hands. SO cute...until I noticed him doing it in the bath one time. I then knew exactly what he was doing, ha-ha!
Look at those little cheeks hanging out. He had a hard time getting the back part of his underwear up by himself.
So a funny story. He is totally great at peeing in the potty but still wont poop in it. He pooped one time and I was hoping that was the break through we needed. We bribed him with everything I could think of. Finally I had an idea. Since he loves cars
so much I decided to buy two hot wheels cars, hang them on the fridge so he could see them and then I told him when he pooped on his potty he could have the new cars. Within ten minutes he moved his potty in front of the fridge, sat on in, and tried so hard to poop. He wanted those cars so bad that he was able to squeeze out two of the smallest little nuggets. Again, we thought this was going to be out big break through but it wasn't. I bribed him with more cars. When that didn't work I just kept adding more and more treats to entice him. Currently, he has two cars, a candy cane, a sucker and a stick of gum hanging on the fridge for when he does it again. About 1-2 times a day I see him checking out his treats as if he is thinking, "hmmm, is it worth it?"
Nothing cutter than a baby bottom walking around in big boy underwear!
