We have lift off

Potty post, you have been forewarned.

I would like to officially report that Nathan is almost completely toilet trained.

No embarrassing photos of my little guy sitting on the potty…Your welcome, Nathan.

Potty training is exhausting if you ask me.  I feel like my days are consumed with potty talk. “Do you have to go pee pee?  Let’s go try.  Do you have to poop?  I hope you aren’t going to poop in your underpants.  Don’t you want to poop on the potty so you can get your Ninja Castle?”

Seriously I have to watch myself otherwise I might ask our UPS delivery man if he needs to use the potty.

But it does seem to be getting easier.  Nathan has begun doing the potty dance, which he has never done before.  Now I can tell when he needs to pee and can urge him to run to the bathroom.

This past friday was the first time poop and potty occurred in the same sentence and not in the sense that I wished Nathan would have pooped on the potty.  I brought up that ever so wished for samurai castle when I saw him getting quiet and going into hiding and he walked to the bathroom, locked the door and was quiet for a very long time, with the exception of an occasional flush and some tearing of toilet paper.  I kept occasionally asking if he wanted me to help him and there was no answer.  I even crept down on my hands and knees to peer under the door.  I could see nothing, not even his feet dangling.

Finally he opened the door and it became evident that he accomplished, or attempted, #2 on the toilet!!  It was a pretty scary scene but it was a happy occasion, I just put up the imaginary caution tape and locked the door behind us and reminded myself to thoroughly clean the area later.

He has gone a total of 3 times and each time is becoming a little less of a crime scene.  Today he closed the door but didn’t lock it, allowing me to enter and help him during the wiping process.

Samurai castle has been ordered.  I can’t believe I bribed him with a toy.  Worst idea, ever for the house of many toys.
