we are definitely riding the potty train right now. pbs is on high alert for potty runs and training purposes. we've been riding the potty train hard and consistently for two and a half weeks now. he's doing really well. (knocking on wood so that i don't jinx myself! knock, knock, knock!!!)
pbs and i have been stuck inside ever since i decided to jump on the train on presidents' day. we are driving each other crazy! i'm nervous about getting out because of accidents. i don't know how many outfits to take with me for an outing to the museum or shopping in old town. i don't know where all the restrooms are to make the much necessary potty runs. would i get there in time? would i have a huge mess on my hands, (literally and figuratively)? how long until i know that we are finished with riding this train?
we've had several days of using the potty every time for going number one, but number two is still very much an issue. i've caught him starting to go in his pants the last three days and have run him straight to the potty. he's made it. we're able to make it an hour or more at a time for going number one. i've been putting him in a slip on diaper for his nap and that has been dry almost every day for about the last week. i consider that to be a huge success. he's still in an overnight diaper but we're taking this one step at a time.
i'm worried about getting out because he's not really telling js and me that he has to go potty yet. we have gone to church and he's told us that he has to go. so maybe i'm just petrified of not being near a restroom and him having an accident.
i know that every parent has to ride this train at some point, so good luck and i hope it doesn't drive you and your little one crazy!
