We have been working on potty training with Brayden since around Christmas time. The thought of having 2 kids in diapers made me stress out. So, around Christmas we started putting Brayden in pullups, followed closely be putting him in "big boy" underwear. Well, we are STILL not 100% potty trained but we are getting really close. I think that it won't be long before we have a fully potty trained boy. We have a few issues we are dealing with:
1) Brayden is a little guy so he is afraid to fall in.
2) He doesn't like to go potty in public. I think this has something to do with "automatic" flushing toilets.
3) He just recently moved from the 2's room to the 3's room at daycare, which caused him to go from a room with little toilets to a room with full sized toilets. (back to the issue of thinking he'd fall in)
4) Moving to a new room at daycare has caused some "trust" issues as he has a new teacher that he isn't comfortable telling that he had to go potty.
We are working on managing these issues. We make sure he knows that he won't fall in, as we are right there with him. We are also working on "standing up" to urinate, which makes it less scary for him, as most of the time he just as to urinate. And as for the new room at daycare, I am working with the teachers to help him get more comfortable and keep an eye on him to make sure he goes to the bathroom during potty breaks.
I never thought potty training would be so challenging, but we will get through it. Especially now that the baby is 3 months old and I have more time to work with him!
