Potty training is ... (rolling my eyes, popping my eyes, and sighing)
Ok. So we're three weeks and three days in the process. We've just started because for some babies, it could take months, some shorter. Ozzy and I don't have it down yet. And we make more misses than hits. But we certainly know when to use the potty.
Here it goes, by order of importance:
1. Sanctuary. When he wants to get away from something -- he calls poopoo!poopoo! when he doesn't want ice on his swelling forehead, or to change his shirt, or me to do something important. We sit on the potty and nobody touches him nor do I busy myself with anything for a while.
2. Prize. He sits on the potty for an oreo cookie.
3. To actually poop or pee. This rarely happens on purpose. I spend most of the time, yanking him from where he is and sitting him on the "poop chair" perplexed about the trail of pee or poop we left behind.
