So this potty thing is going along just smashingly.
Today for example, the boys peed in diapers when they napped. Otherwise wore panties ALL DAY long without so much as ONE accident. And yes, I was actually able to do a day in panties without accidents. They didn't have to be naked all day to remember! I make it a point to take them about every hour when I'm home. And they sometimes go more on their own in between. So we more or less LIVE in the bathroom. But thats part of the progress, right?
We go through spurts where they want to squeeze out a few drops about every 10 minutes just to get a jelly bean, but hopefully we can phase treats out with time & with that phase out the 10 minute pee cycles too. But the boys definitely don't have the bladder size that Liv has. That girl sometimes goes just 3 or 4 times a day. She was so easy, that even our boys who really have been easy to this point by most peoples standards, seem much harder.
Today I even ventured out of the house with NO diapers on!! {Ok, ok... so Hayden had a pull-up on.} I wanted to put pull-ups on both boys, and Logan REFUSED!! He said it was a diaper & he wanted panties on. So I figured I'd go big & bold, put them all in panties... but then Hayden WANTED a pull-up & refused panties. So close enough. 2 in panties, 1 in a pull-up. That's technically no diapers. We made a quickie trip to Walmart & a drive through McDonalds. We were gone maybe 1.5 hours. Peed before we left, came home & peed before we ate lunch. And EVERYBODY stayed dry!
Saturday H had a couple accidents for Jeff in the evening. And Sunday they did diapers with being out of the house 1/2 of the day for showings & such. But we have come an incredibly long way in, what, a week? Especially considering I didn't think Logan would get this til he was 5! And really this wasn't even our agenda. It wasn't on my plans until July. But they totally took the lead on this one & I'm not about to deny them & miss out on our perfect opportunity & possibly make it harder on us later.
I need to invest in one of those travel potties people talk about. So if we're on the road we can just stop & use it instead of dragging 3 kids into a restaurant or gas station. I've seen people talk about THESE & THESE. I've heard great things about the Potette.
Anybody have a travel potty? What do you have? Pros? Cons?
And get myself down a system for taking 3 tots to the toilet in public. Tried it once & it was a bit of a disaster. Finally got taking Liv potty on the go mastered, now I have a different method to tackle. But like everything with parenting, you figure out your way of doing it eventually. Right?
Tips for potty going on the fly. With one... or three? Or boys??
