Toilet Training Boys

The Joys of Toilet Training Boys

 

We are now a week into toilet training master 2. Oh the joys of it! He is doing really well. I didn't think we were going to succeed this time as he showed no interest at all but like my first son did after a two days of weeing on the floor, on my lounge, on the mat, on the carpet in his room, he finally took himself off to the potty. YAY!!!!!

We have one of those fisher price potty's that when they use it, it sings (I tell them it sings because it loves to eat wee's and poo's lol) But it had decided not to work and thought it was broken but today it miraculously started working again so I now have a two year old trying to wee every few minutes to make it sing and getting very upset that his "wee all gone" 

So far majority of wee's are making it into the potty. As with two year olds, he must do everything himself and that means he has to empty the potty into the toilet, then wash it and put it all back together. There is just wee everywhere! Boys I think are also genetically designed to be unable to aim, even sitting on the potty it will still shoot out the front. This is a skill that their father will not be able to teach either. A house with 4 males and one toilet (we go through a lot of toilet cleaner). I've learnt very quickly you never hold off going to the bathroom around here because you almost always need to clean it first. Nothing worse than waking up in the morning half asleep busting for the loo and in a half comatose state sitting on a wet seat!

Then there is Number 2's......

Number 2's are not making it into the potty.....at all. It's just gross!

I came to the realisation today that I have been changing nappies and cleaning poo non stop, everyday for 4 years!  AHH!!! With no end in sight for at least another 1-2 years! I need a holiday!
