More Confessions

I must confess... Bekah was potty trained by my Grammie at 14 months old (at the time it seemed perfectly normal - now I realize how uncommon that truly is!) Anna was potty trained by my sister at 22 months old (while I was in the hospital having Kaid). I potty trained Kaid at 2, then tried again at 3, everyone kept telling me he was just a boy... then tried again at 3 1/2 (ya know he's a boy, they're different) , then again at 4, (he still a boy and they will do it when they are ready)... then just put him in pants and hoped it would all kick in (he's 5 - I'm still waiting). So needless to say I decided I didn't know how to potty train and was dreading potty training Quinn! But Wow! It's done! I am so thrilled! We only had a few minor snafu's and I will share 2 things to remember when potty training. 1. Teach the kid how to pull down his pants before going... Apparently I forgot this step (I was just having him naked in the house and helped him when we were out) One day he came up and told me he needed to go and then ran over, sat down, and went... with all his clothes on. 2. Peeing on a tree is acceptable, pooping on a tree is not... somehow that socially unacceptable behavior escaped his lessons.
