OHH where do I start? So far my least favorite part of potty training is....the part where you have to get the kid to "go" in the potty. If it weren't for that I think I would really enjoy this process.
A few stories to share of our eventful "potty training" or as I like to call it potty Boot camp.
#1.
me: Koby, do you want to use the potty
Koby: No, I crackers
Me: NO Koby, Potty isn't a food!
#2. I am trying to get KOby excited about going on the potty by making up a song. So, everytime *I* think it would be a great time to go potty I take Koby into the bathroom, put him on the potty and say, okay sit down lets sing the potty song. SO, he proceeds to pull his pull up down, sit on the toilet, I sing a REDICULOUS song...that MAY go a little something like this ( more of a Potty RAP if you will!)
Koby is the best he goes on the potty, Koby is a good boy, no he isn't naughty!
HE doesn't need diapers he is a big kid, he goes on the potty so he can diapers he can get rid!
GO KOBY GO KOBY GO KOBY GO! ( i can not believe I am admitting this!)
He thinks this is great....except now he will go get the potty, bring in into the room I am in, set it down, and ask me to sing...do you think he is making a connection???
#3. Bribery! That HAS to work right?
"SO Koby if you want a cookie you have to go on the potty"
Koby: YEAY!!!!
Me: Okay lets go on the potty
Koby: NO....I not.
Me: WEll, don't you want a cookie
KOby: Yeay!!!!
Me: Okay, great, then lets go on the potty like a big boy...
Koby: NO....COOKIE!
Me: Yes, after you go on the potty.
Koby gives up...or so I think
A few minutes later...I come around the corner into the kitchen to find him standing "on the potty" in the pantry helping himself to cookies!
I mean after all I did just say to get on the potty!
