Potty Update

Trevor is an old pro at going to the potty!  We love how he tells us he has to go rather than bothering him all the time to try.  Because trust us, if you try to get him to try....it's not happening.  He'll say he doesn't want to go.  The kid can hold it like no other but when he says it's time to go, he goes!  Yay!!

 

With the ear infection and antibiotic situation causing let's say, issues, we did have to bribe him to put on pull-ups at night...because that is always when the poopies come.  He so did not want them on but now he understands they are special nighttime-only big boy underwear and doesn't have a problem putting them on with some encouragement.  If he does poop in the night he'll come get us right away, which is good.  Now if only he'd let us know before that, but we're sure that will come in time!  His pull-up is usually dry overnight so that is good! 

 

And only one accident since the morning of the second day of potty training....Grandma and Papa Hillins took Trevor for an outing while Mommy and Daddy checked out the hospital where baby sister will be born.  They were at the park and even though they asked him a million times if he had to go, he climbed up on the slide and then had an accident.  He didn't like it at all. Just stood there and cried. Sad.  So after that when we met up for lunch we tried to get him to go often but he just wouldn't.  We thought he was just being stubborn and having control of the situation but nope.  He really doesn't have to go if he says he doesn't 'want' to go.  We'll work on changing his language to 'have to go.'

 

When he has to go, he now stands up and pees!  He must have learned that at school because at home we had him just go on his little potty.  However, this was the best thing ever because he'll go at the store, a restaurant, a park, you name it!  Hallelujah!  So, we'll be booking our trip to Mickey's House and Legoland soon!!!  Way to go Trevor!

 

Word on the street is that his cousin Sam is going to do potty training this weekend so our fingers are crossed that things go smoothly there!!
