Potty Training

Potty training has been slow going in our house. Over a year ago Lane would sit on the potty and even went a few times. Then, he refused to even look at the potty. A couple weeks ago while I was giving Lane a bath he told me he needed to potty. I pulled him out of the tub and he actually went! We had a big celebration and guess what. He has refused to sit on the potty ever since.

Yesterday while we were at the grocery some gummy bears caught Lane's eye. I told him I would get them and they could be a reward for when he sat on the potty. He threw the biggest fit! He was not happy with me.

So, this morning he saw his treats on the counter and wanted one. I reminded him that if he wanted one he needed to go potty. He immediately ran into the bathroom and I caught up to him with his jeans pulled down trying to get his diaper off. I helped him with his diaper and sure enough as I took it off it was full and warm. He had done exactly as I said, he went into the bathroom to potty - it was just in his diaper instead of the potty. Lane got his reward as promised and next time I will be more specific.
