So we're still in training mode.
Saturday started out pretty good with Dylan doing exactly what he needed to do. We were sure he was close to being PTed. So, we decided to run some errands and it would also be a good time for us to 'train' him while in public places.
When we went out, we brought the potty with us since we anticipated he might be scared off by the public restroom. Well, we soon discovered that not only is he NOT into public restrooms, he refused to go in public places as well (i.e. parking lot, car, etc).
Needless to say, our attempt to potty train on-the-go put a little brake on Dylan's success with PT. After getting home from our errands and the next day he had few accidents. It was starting to get so frustrating. Mommy was wondering if maybe he isn't quite ready for the task. But after talking to him about it and reassuring him, we were back in business. He went in his potty a few more times before we had another accident. That's expected, right?
One major improvement - he finally pooped in the potty! It took him about an hour to finally get it out, but he did it!
So this weekend, we were hoping for accident-free days which didn't really happen. We know it's a long process. And as Dylan is potty training, we learned that so are we. We're really trying to be patient and encouraging. Hopefully tomorrow goes better than the last couple of days - or else we might have to reassess our plans.
Oh and how can we forget - he marked his territory in his brother's room. =)
