Potty Training Take 1

Potty Training Take 1=FAIL

 

Peyton has been showing interest in using the potty off and on for the past couple months so I thought we should go for it.  Especially since we have a life change coming soon.  I wanted it to be over and done.  On 1/10 I brought out the "big boy pants" and Peyton wanted them.  He was willing to take the diaper off and didn't want the diaper back on. So on 1/13 we went for it. 

 

The day started off great.  I got Peyton out of bed, put him on the potty, he went and we put the "underwares" on.  I put him on the potty every 20 minutes.  There was absolutely no control or consistency.  At one point he sat on the pot for a 1/2 hour.  Then he started having accidents.  At one point it was time to try going again and he tried to run away, peeing on the kitchen table in the process.  (No worries, I sanitized.)  After a few more undie accidents I decided to let him go naked.  I wanted to see if it would upset him to get all wet.  Not so.  He whizzed all over a little chair we have and then put his hands in it and proclaimed with a huge smile "I washing my hands".  That's when I decided to claim defeat with the help of my mom who assured me, it was ok if Peyton was not ready. We put the diaper back on and he didn't even care. 

 

I was never mad or frustrated at P. I was more exhausted and sad to admit that I was wrong...Peyton was nowhere near ready.   Oh well.  We spent the rest of the day sharing popcorn and watching movies.  We'll give this potty thing a shot this summer.
