Today went pretty well and I’m hoping that within the week Liam will really have the hang of things. Here are the stats:
Peed in the potty:Â 11
Peed in the potty of his own volition (without any parental prompting):Â 11
Pooped in the potty:Â 1
Pooped in the potty of his own volition (without any parental prompting):Â 1
Accidents: 1.5 (1 was while he was in his chair eating dinner and didn’t realize what was happening until it was too late — thank goodness for the booster seat! The .5 was when he was playing with trains, started to go, and then stopped himself midstream to run to the potty chair and finish his business.)
Number of times pee landed outside the potty during a successful potty attempt: 5 (This was generally the result of not having his parts pointed in the right direction while seated, but twice it also involved attempts on his behalf to “pee like Daddy” while standing up. He’s really not ready for that quite yet!)

Reading “The Little Engine That Could” for inspiration:
Let’s just hope that his learning curve keeps improving as his (and my) cabin fever also increases. I think he did fantastically well for his second day and have my fingers crossed that today is even better!
