Noah has been doing SOOOO well on the potty. We're truly amazed. He hasn't had a pee accident in about 10 days. Basically, since the day he figured it all out. It's so awesome.
Everytime he goes, we do the potty dance. This consists of Peggy, me, and Abby squeezing in the tiny main level bathroom singing and dancing. The song has had several iterations, but the latest and most frequently used goes something like this: "Potty dance, ah do the potty dance, pee pee on the potty do the potty dance, oh yeah." And then usually repeat that once or until Noah tells you to stop. Going crazy and being happy is one of the main reasons Noah loves to use the potty. Well, there's also the TV part.... :-)
Abby is so happy that Noah uses it so much. Main reason? TV of course. It's the only time we let them watch anything lately. We try to keep it to 20 minutes per use. That adds up to about a movie per day, which we're not incredibly fond of. But, we figure 1.5 hours per day is probably less than the average kid. And, we're planning on weaning off of that soon. I'm thinking we may come up with a chart. Each time he goes gets him a sticker on the chart. Each sticker equals something. Most things would be small.....a few M&M's or something. But then he would have bigger things to work towards as well.
Poop on the other hand, is not going so well. He always informs us of his poop, but it's always right after he does it in his underwear. He talks about pooping on the potty, but so far no luck.
We still put him in a diaper for naptime and bedtime. Although, the last few days he's woken up from nap dry! So, sometime soon, we'll probably do underwear for naptime too!
If only we could figure out this poop thing we'd be good to go! Even so, we're pretty happy considering we're only a little over two weeks in.
