I think we've done it!
I think we have poop trained Logan... finally!!
What a process!
We've been working on this for MONTHS! We were over it. Time to get tough. We started taking away toys for poop in a diaper/pull-up when he woke up. He never had accidents in his underwear, just held it until nap/bedtime. He picked what item he would loose if he had an accident. We "pitched" 2 things a day, almost every day for a good week. Then he picked his lovie blanket. *gasp* The tables then turned.
He spent the next 3 days saying he was going to poop in the potty to get it back.
He tried, & tried. I honestly though he was going to give himself hemorrhoids, he tried so hard. We bought a new little potty thinking if we gave him more independence, privacy... I gave him some Miralax.
And finally he did it! Once. Then again. And again.
The Easter Bunny brought him some positive reinforcement.
And for each accident free morning he got to pick a toy back out of the "trash."
I think in 10 days we have had just 2 poops in a diaper/pull-up at bedtime or nap. Just TWO!!
He almost has all of his toys back. And the Easter Bunny has promised him a bike.
We spent several days doing the go to the potty & try every 30 mins thing (per his request), just like the early days of potty training. We took 2 steps backwards when everybody felt they needed to use the little potty.
But he has successfully pooped in the big potty several times & I think we can call it success!!
AND- Hayden almost has himself nap trained. He naps in underwear at school & was about 50:50 at naps at home the last month or so. But lately he is almost always dry & has started to refuse a pull-up for nap. Today Logan was very upset that he had to wear a pull-up for nap & Hayden & Olivia didn't. And guess what, he woke up dry too. Maybe he will get it soon too! I told him if he woke up dry 5 naps in a row, he could nap in underwear too (plus knowing if he does have an accident he will just wake up wet & not poopy makes it not as bad). Almost down to just 2 overnight diapers for the boys. So close!!
Yay!!
