That's awesome!

I'm familiar with all these bad songs. Daniel Tiger''s potty song? Check! Daddy Finger? Check check!

@sarcastic10 he's pooped on there once before while he was without a diaper for an hour or so. Hopefully that's not a problem for us! Good job for winning that game though lol

rungirlrun DS is 29 months and I feel like he's ready, I'm just nervous about actually doing it. I'm going to get over myself and try because I really don't want two in diapers. It's hard too because everyone is telling me not to bother with my Due date coming soon. I'll definitely start tomorrow off with the Daniel Tiger episode, thanks!

feisty I'm going to skip pull ups too. That's the one consistent thing I hear from my friends - pull ups made the whole thing a long drawn out process.

willow I thought the same thing. I never realized we had a dude on the board......

Either way, superdad I'll check out the book, thanks.

We did use pull ups for a while when we went out of the house, but most of those times he did go in the pull up.  We did one complete naked no leaving home day.  And then the rest of that weekend/week we did naked while we were home.  We moved his small potty to the main room so it was close.  The next weekend/week, we did commando (no pullup or underwear) when we were home.  And then after that we went to underwear pretty much all the time.  

We did pick out underwear (mickey mouse) that he got to wear once he completed his potty reward chart (we used the padded/training type underwear before then.

And definitely sitting on the potty.  Thankfully we never had any poop issues.  My son has had a few accidents, but always on his way to the potty.

Someday, this fall I will bring up this thread when I start potty training with ds!

You ladies are my heroes!

All in all, I'll call today a success. DS and I are both exhausted but he only had the one pooping incident. I know he had to poop again around dinner but he flat out refused. Okay kid, game on I guess.

Tomorrow we will take a walk or get out around the house for a bit and see how he does without his diaper out and about.

Thanks again ladies!

My DD was scared to poop too and that came last. We talked about it a lot but what finally gave us the breakthrough was putting her potty in front of the TV ad letting her sit and watch a movie and have a drink. She relaxed and pooped and realized it wasn't scary at all. That was all it took.

Maybe there is a use for this after all.

I know no one is really invested in this, but whatever lol. DS pooped on the potty and was so so excited. Hopefully we can do it again tonight!

Yay! I get it. The first few times DS pooped on the potty, we called daddy and the grandparents. It's a huge deal. Keep it up!
