potty training


Cyle is being such a big boy! I swear two days after he turned 3 his potty training switch turned on and he has not really had any big issues with going potty since then. it helps that he has the motivation of going to school and that he really does want to be a big boy. I will say to any mothers that may be potty training right now- hang in there! your hard work will pay off and they will get it one day. For Cyle we started at 2.5 years old and put him in pull ups strictly to tech him when he would go pee (the picture disappears). we also told him that when he went pee the picture would get sad and go away....anyone who doesn't know- cyle is a huge people pleaser and so this worked well for him. once he figured that out we went pantless for a long time (probably about a month) while we were at home and did diapers while out and about...then he finally got the whole thing down without pants so then we put underwear and pants on him and then after a while (like 3-4 months) he mastered that but would not poop for anything on the toilet....so we ended up in diapers a lot more then we should have because we wanted to avoid accidents....but then after he turned 3 and had the motivation of school he started going poop all on his own... it has been quite the process but I am so proud of him!
