so i've been reading up on some different ideas for potty training because pbs is showing signs of being ready. i think i have been dreading this since we found out we were pregnant.
i don't know how a boy goes to the bathroom! what am i supposed to do? some of the articles i've read have said to let him go naked from the waist down. i'm not comfortable with that. i'm thinking about just spending a few days in the bathroom with him. that probably won't work though.
i have heard that boys are harder to train than girls. pbs has been showing signs of being ready for quite a while though. he hates having a wet or poopy diaper and pulls at it when he wants to be trained. he goes off by himself when he's pooping. he's been more interested in the toilet lately, wanting to put toilet paper in it and flush it.
how do i know for sure he's ready? i don't want to force him and end up being miserable for a very long time. we know people who have an almost four year old little boy and they are still trying to get him potty trained. we also know people who have two boys and the older boy was completely trained by three years old. i'd really like for pbs to be completely trained by three years old.
where to start? maybe our next step should be a potty seat, cloth training pants and rubber covers with pull-ups for only at nap time and night. maybe we should have a chart with stickers, a potty dance and a special prize for so many successes. i guess we'll figure it out pretty soon.
