Ready, or Not?

If there's one thing I've learned in all my 

potty-training attempts 

is that it is absolutely, 100% a waste of time if the 

child is not ready! 

It happens at different ages for different kids.

But the bottom line....

if the kids not ready it's not going to happen.

In fact, 

you'll drive yourself crazy is you try to make it happen.

So I wait!

I wait till I think they're good and ready!

If you wait for that 

prime moment,

potty-training is 

cake!

Fox is two.

We thought Fox was ready.

We gave it a go.....

Cartoons.

Full bottle.

Blankies.

He just needs that 

"ah-HA" moment

when he pees in the toilet,

we celebrate and praise,

and he's on his way 

with his 

big boy unnies!

  

Sibling support!

(They get so excited for these types of things!)

Yes, that is a bowl of 

warm water!

We were a good couple hours in

and he was starting on his 

3rd bottle,

We thought a lil stimulation would help.

How big can a 

2 year old's 

bladder be???

Bubba.

Supportive and patient!

Losing some steam......

(Bubba, not Fox)

"Where did everyone go?"

Back with 

reinforcements!

We have books now and I've started giving him 

apple juice.

I figured the milk was taking too long to work it's way thru his system.

Every five seconds we were asking him if he 

'tinkled'?

Nope!

Logan takes over on story time.

Fox is being his usual 

Foxy self.

Bubba hold'n strong!

More reading......

Entertaining the crowd.....

Back to his bottle!

Gracious!!

"Are you sure you haven't peed?"

We finally had him stand up 

and low and behold,

he had peed!!! 

We still praised voraciously and threw the party......

but he really had no idea what all the fuss was about.

More confusing than anything!!

So we put on his 

Spiderman Unnies,

sent him on his way,

and he made it into the next room before 

pooping!

He's not ready........
