I mean you leave the house with a clean dry toddler and return with a wet stinky toddler and a bag of wet clothing.
Sam "gets" it but suffers from no routine. Going out of te country, buying a house, moving, new baby, and many other "bigger" life events have really made it hard for Sam to stick with it. And that's ok.
But now he is really starting to get it. I know because he understands you pee in the toilet. He grasps this concept so well that he has resorted to building his own commode when suitable facilities cannot be found.
This occurred last week while I was deep cleaning our stove. Sam had collected all the parts to the burners without my knowledge and was stacking them in the living room. He was deeply intrenched in his work, creating a master piece. I glanced over at him and noticed he had pulled his pants down and was squatting over his creation.
Me "Sam what are you doing?"
Sam "I'm peeing in the little potty I made mommy, isn't it nice."
Me (laughing so hard I couldn't get much out) " we are supposed to pee in the big potty Sam"
Sam "oh, the one daddy made in the bathroom. That's a nice big potty. I like that one mommy...(pause) so I can't pee in my little potty?"
****note we have never used a child's toilet with Sam just an adult toilet with a seat insert***
Here he has painted himself for my birthday
