Pee here, Pee There, Pee Everywhere!!!

Okay, so I thought that my two week break from work would be a good time to get Brennan potty trained...but I guess I forgot to ask him if this would be a good time.

Day 1, talk about going potty on the toilet just like Emma does. Put on big boy underwear, Spiderman nonetheless. Get stock of treats ready for potty successes. 5 minutes after underwear is on, we make our first potty attempt, nothing. 2 minutes later, I hear screaming in the kitchen, pee all over the floor. Clean up, new underwear, and try the potty again, nothing. About half hour later, screaming in the hallway, pee everywhere! Give up on day one.

Day 2, same talk about potty on the toilet, big boy underwear, you all know the drill. SAME attempts on the potty, SAME accidents all over the freakin' house! Most on the tile floor, but lots on the carpet too. Finally, some actual potty success, which is rewarded with treats, phone calls to daddy and grandma and cheers and claps from mommy and sissy. Maybe we are getting somewhere...


Day 3, same ol' process, a little more success, but so many accidents still that I am just about done. I have cleaned up so much pee in the past three days, and done so many loads of laundry, I swear we went through all 10 pairs of underwear I bought him in a 6 hour time span!


But stubborn ol' me, will still attempt this same routine tomorrow...am I stupid?



Lots of love,

The Grady's

Good luck! From what I know...there's nothing fun about potty training.
