Yesterday didn’t go so well for potty training. I don’t know why but Arch just didn’t want to use the toilet. About midafternoon we switched from the disposables to cloth trainers. I completely forgot that Cyn had been stockpiling some cloth ones. He hasn’t had any accidents yet today so I guess he likes them better.
Dora the Explorer is slowly melting my brain. It’s almost worth it to hear Arch say, “Aw man!” Almost. The wikipedia entry for it is crazy. Somebody is WAY too into Dora.
Week one of potty training is done and it really hasn’t been as tough as I thought it would be. We’re not going by any of the offical “methods” and are just making it up as we go. Arch is taking to pretty well. We ended up buying some disposable pull-ups instead of the cloth ones since we don’t think it will take him very long to figure this whole thing out.
Yesterday he only had one accident and that one was really my fault for getting him over-excited without making sure he didn’t need to go. Every day he gets a little quicker at getting down to business so we don’t even have to sit him on the toilet for very long. It is really nice to not have to rinse out poopy diapers.
