Inevitable repercussions.

I told you if I wrote about our potty training progress, it would bite me in the ass. My son woke up the next morning, having peed in his bed. But, he was wearing his new pirate pjs from Grandma, and walked out, squinting at the light, with his right hand hidden in his sleeve. He is a pirate, you see, and pirates are always missing a hand. If he had something to make a hook, he would have carried that out with him as well. Almost made up for having to change his sheets, and clothes.

We also had a number two accident later that morning. (Told you!) But, to his credit, he went two out of three times on the potty, and we were good for the rest of the day. We were also good for accidents last night, and he woke up, before we went to sleep, to pee. Unfortunately, he seems to be having accuracy issues now, or sitting on the potty without removing clothing. We are currently working toward prize number two, but progress is slower than last week.

I also find, if he is being particularly stubborn, he will say he doesn't want the prize. So, if he has made up his mind he does not want to go pee, he will emphatically state he does not want the present. Not much of an incentive. I guess we have to find something he really wants to earn. Although, I thought these prizes we had picked out together were them. The whims of a three year old.

Another stumbling block? He seems to have developed an affinity for the potty, and a dislike of toilets. He especially does not like public toilets. He also refuses to go with his father, so I often end up with both my children in the washroom stall with me. Lots of fun! No, do not unlock the door while mommy is sitting on the toilet! Please do not flush while your sister is sitting on the toilet. Oh, there goes the automatic flushing system, again.

This too shall pass.

It is a nice looking potty, isn't it?
