Success!

Houston, we have poop in the toilet!!!! We told Cobi he can play on the iPad if/when he poops on the toilet. He LOVES playing on the "computer" and tried his hardest to earn play time! He tried 3 or 4 times, each attempt he brought himself to the toilet. The last try was a success!!! I hope he continues making it to the toilet each time!

Next up, night time potty training. Do you have any tips for us? Do you wake potty trainers in the middle of the night to use the toilet? When do they start waking on their own?

Really Stuck

Cobi has been doing fantastically well at going pee on the toilet. He takes himself when he needs to go and hasn't had any accidents!!!!! I'm so stinkin' proud of him! I knew he could do it!

The downside is that he has yet to poop on the toilet. He's pooped on the floor and in his pants but never on the toilet. I'm not sure how to handle this. So far I've tried to be patient and understanding but he's just not grasping the idea. I'm stuck!

So what tips or tricks do you have for getting a potty trainer to poop in the toilet?

*We've stopped giving rewards, aside from high fives and verbal praise, for pee and told him he only gets a treat if he poops. We have reminded him, had him sit on the pot for extended periods of time, etc and to no avail. So please HELP!!! How do I get this child to poop in the pot?!?

Potty Training….again

Today we started hard core potty training Cobi. I'm talking, lots of drinks & no clothes, diapers, etc from the waist down. Shaelyn decided she wants to give it a try too. I'm so praying this will stick & they'll be potty trained by Cobi's 4th birthday on the 21st.

Potty training is definitely the ultimate test of patience & endurance. Thankfully my Husband has both! He's been such a great encourager to Cobi and really ensures Cobi knows how proud he is! It's really been wonderful to watch!!!

So, here's to our Big Boy getting potty trained by the 21st! And yes, we'll take any prayers we can get!!!
