Getting Used to Potty

When at home I only put training pants on my little tot to encourage him to use his potty. It's been successful so far, he would always tell me if he wants to go pee-pee. But the poo-poo part is another story. He wouldn't and couldn't go even if he really needs to. But as soon as I put a diaper on him, he would go right away.

Today he earned two stars for staying dry at naptime and at church. He managed to not wet his bed during naptime even if he was just wearing training pants. Then when we went to church he was also just wearing underpants and no accidents happened. I'm really so proud! Since he earned enough stars, he got a reward. I gave him few pieces of M & M's and he was ecstatic. I have this reward board on the fridge where I give him stars for good behavior and achievements. He even reminds me to stick a star on the board when he hears me say that he earned one.

And just today he started peeing standing up. I hope that poo-poo in the potty will come sooner.

  1. Hay naku, it's really quite a challenge to motivate a child! Pero sa case ni li'l Mikey, looks like he gets to learn so easily kaya hindi mahirap!Good job, Mommy Mira!

  2. My son would wait for the diaper to poop too. Finally, I just took them away and told him the diapers were gone. It did take a few accidents but he got the message quick! Hope it goes well for you!
