so loved and cared for that little extra something may be all they need to keep pushing i hope everyone has a lovely thanksgiving with your friends and family 1 comment 3 jul 2017 rough times posted in motherhood by ecutri have you ever had one of those days weeks that you just feel like you can t do anything to make yourself happy yes i feel like i am doing an excellent job as a mom even when having some particularly rough days yes i feel like i am accomplishing my tasks as an employee and doing a damn fine job at it what i am not doing very well at is taking care of me i put everyone and everything in front of my basic needs i don t have nearly as many opportunities for adult interaction as the normal working mom and when i do they are sparse or interrupted by my constant need to make sure my child isn t falling off a couch and breaking his neck i am constantly distracted with work and mothering that my need to be my own person is swept under the rug i feel selfish that i am upset that i forget who i am or that i used to be the funny entertaining one that loved talking and interacting with people it s just been a rough week and i needed a little rant and maybe a break anxiety exhausted finding myself help mother social interactions tired 3 comments 27 jun 2017 it s potty time posted in motherhood by ecutri warning this is a very long post it s been one month since we started our potty training endeavor and i m proud to say that joey is on the road to success with only one accident in the last 2 weeks that was actually my fault he told me several times while eating lunch he had to pee but i asked him to hold it until we were finished the walk to the bathroom after he finished proved he was telling me he did really need to go it was just a little squirt but i felt so bad he told me and i didn t listen and i apologized to him bad mommy but he s not wearing pull ups for naps just bed time once he can go 2 full weeks of waking up dry i will stop pull ups at night he s had a few days in a row completely dry but then every once in a while a little bit but he s still very young and sleeps a very long time at night i m not concerned we decided to do the potty training boot camp and just jump in cold turkey they say all you need is 3 days but i was skeptical about that so i took a week off of work to get this done the real test would be the following weekend as we had several events planned including my mba graduation ceremony the article is very detailed and every child is different so you sort of have to tailor it to his or her needs on friday may 19th joey said bye bye to his diaper pail his changing pad and the rest of his diapers for a few weeks i told him that we would be saying bye bye to them soon and start using the potty only so he knew what to expect i didn t lie to joey and say the diaper fairy took them away i don t throw him into situations without warning so he knows what is happening and why i don t pretend i don t know what happened when he asks where something went or why it is happening mainly because i put myself in his shoes and think if someone did that to me i would be an anxious mess i explained that if he tried hard and did well that we would have a week full of treats and presents for his efforts and success with the ultimate prize being a big boy bed i hid all his diapering paraphernalia in a closet just in case and the following morning his last diaper was taken off he sat on the potty and was naked from the waist down from there on out while in the house let me tell you day 1 did not start out well in a matter of a few hours i was peed on 6 times six the poop was a struggle my hopes were torn to pieces and i didn t know what i was getting myself into i thought over and over that i rushed into this too quick he s too young i took a week off and it will be a failure boy was i wrong after his nap on day 1 he was like a new person turns out joey wasn t getting allllll of his pee out just little squirts so when he d play and jump or laugh or sneeze another squirt would come out i don t know if it s because he was being stubborn or if he was nervous or just trying to rebel against the potty but the first few hours he did not fully void his bladder and he did not like when he had an accident wipe it mommy is what he cried and he would help me clean up i explained to him over and over that it takes less time to sit on the potty and pee than it does to clean up an accident so we need to try harder to make it to the potty i can t tell you how many times he helped me clean up that morning and i was just exhausted and ready to throw in the towel on day 1 he pooped on the potty but it was like pulling teeth and i had to wait until he made his patented poop face to get him to go on the potty i was a wreck he was upset confused nervous anxious i can t even imagine what he was going through being thrown into something completely different than he was used to i don t know what happened during his nap but once he woke up it just clicked and it was a week full of success after success friday we will be putting his big boy bed together as his ultimate reward he totally deserves it now you can stop here since i provided the link to what we used to train or you can check out some of our work and adventures this is going to be a long post so here s where we get into the details of our week of training and how we ve been continually doing amazing ever since there s a few snags we faced and overcame along the way that may be of interest so if you have the time please continue reading our potty training experience joey has a potty training video he has been watching consistently for probably about 8 or 9 months potty time i bought it early knowing he loved rachel coleman and the whole signing time series so this would likely be beneficial since he has a big interest in her and sign language i think the key here is finding something someone they like and starting the videos and books early so they know how things work and what you are supposed to do toddlers are sponges so they will be telling you what needs to be done once it sinks in several weeks before starting i told joey every day that we would begin potty training soon and did a countdown he knew what to expect and when when the day got closer i would ask him so what are we going to do starting saturday and he d repeat only pee pee and poopy in the potty another key to our success was preparation and not leading him in blindly he knew what to expect and when so he was not as nervous or as anxious about just being thrown in cold turkey the night before we began we gathered all his diapering materials changing pad excess diapers and diaper pail and said good bye to them the best advice i was given was from my sister in law and she told me once you start you need to stop changing them on the changing pad these are all things associated with diapers so to set up for success they do need to be removed and it sucks because it was a bonding experience with us as well but it is for the best possible chance of success while joey slept that night i started breaking out all the treats and prizes that he could potentially earn with his potty charts successful poops on the potty that was our biggest hurdle and big achievements they were set up and displayed where we spend most of our time so he has the goals in sight and he d often check it out to figure out what item he wants to try and earn next i also set out all his new big boy underpants and night time underpants for him to see the next morning his diaper was taken off for the last time and we sat right on the potty to start the first day of training his new routine this is where it gets interesting i think seeing what he can earn helped him try harder to get it he understood that none of the prizes were available to him until he met certain milestones that were set some people use sticker charts some people use fancy personalized potty training kits on etsy all you really need is to give them a goal and a way to track it and it s all good i literally printed out a template i found on google the night before and gave joey a crayon so he could color in the circles every time he was successful if there was an accident he would help me clean it up we d finish on the potty but no circle to fill in here s how our days went day 1 the day started rough joey refused to pee on the potty when he woke up at 6 30am the rebelling started even with the preparation i think he wants to control the situation and go back to his normal routines but i ve got to remind him that mommy is in charge and this is something we need to work on together we had our milk still no pee on potty and while sitting on mommy s lap he lets out the pee he refused to do in the potty that morning we were both soaked and he was upset being upset is a good thing it means he didn t like the way it felt and will try not to do it again there were lots of small accidents between 6 30 and 9 30 once he felt the splash come out he would stop and go on the potty this is where i think he started to process what was going on and try to figure out how to control the squirts at 9 30 i ask him to keep pushing it all out since he was going constantly and just little bits at a time i ve never seen so much pee come out of him before this is when i realized he has only been peeing a little bit at a time and not emptying his bladder this was the start of less accidents but still had one more before nap time i wasn t this optimistic during the morning of day 1 but reflecting on it now all the signs pointed us in the right direction based on how joey reacted to and handled the situations after lunch i threw a pull up on him for nap time since we were only working on half hour intervals at that point and i didn t want to upset him too much with a nap accident and we started fresh when he woke up let me tell you after he woke up and let out all his pee in the potty he was like a new child he actually held it in the full half hour or told me if he couldn t make it and he only pee peed on the potty for the rest of the day our biggest hurdle was poops while he had been familiarizing himself with the potty for many many months so he wouldn t be scared of it when the time came he never attempted a poop in it i was scared going into the week since he refused to even try previously the week before however we caught him in time and sat him down and he did it i saw he was starting to make his infamous poop face and stripped him and put him on the potty it was a bit of whining but he did it and we all cheered and danced and he got a piece of minty chocolate as a prize this was a huge relief going into potty training week we had popped his poop cherry on the potty and it helped get through this week day 1 he had a successful poop on the potty and got both a minty chocolate mini peppermint patty his poop treat and a prize for hitting his first big milestone of pooping on the potty day 2 seriously day 1 was the only bad day on day 2 we still had the potty timer going every half hour and he went successfully each time even asked for a few pees in between because i was keeping him very hydrated so he could feel it there was only one accident on this day and it wasn t due to pee he sat down on the potty and pooped but got so excited he did it that he stood up and the rest fell out he literally finished his poop like a horse and it was not very solid there s something about diapers that make poop less gross but when it is on the floor it is so bad thank god we have hardwood floors we were even able to get out of the house for a little bit and go to uncle jeff s house with our potty in tow joey played very hard outside with the kids and went on the potty 3 times while we were there without so much as a fuss no accidents i was so proud day 3 5 i started getting a little ballsy i knew that next week he d be returning to school so he needed to be able to hold it longer i also knew that i did not want to be bringing pull ups to school he d be doing the same thing we were except with clothes on i increased the time and let him feel what it felt like to have an accident in bed yes i did it on purpose yes i am horrible for making him cry and get upset but you know what it never happened again sometimes you have to let them fail so they know how to correct the situation and figure out how to be successful babying them will not help them figure things out for themselves so i let him drink up his water he peed before his nap but woke up 2 hours later and had an accident i softly explained to him that he should try to hold it in his belly until mommy could get to him and he can pee on the potty he helped me clean it all up and he said he would try hard not to do it again because he didn t like how it felt but seriously he had no more nap time accidents at home during this stretch we were playing outside and i had asked him if he was ready to go in for a quick potty break but he said no i knew he would eventually have to figure out how to deal when he s playing and doesn t want to stop to go so i didn t force the issue i d much rather him figure it out in our own yard than at someone s house or at a park with a total meltdown he did it one time that s all it took i let it drip down his leg and he was upset sometimes you just have to let them lead fail and help guide them to figure out how to do better we were coming close to the end of the week and i needed to get a hold of daycare to set ourselves up for success especially since the director would be going on vacation the following week we went over schedules what i can do at home to help the transition what they can do to make him more comfortable seriously meet with your school a good director will work with you but also lay down the ground rules no potty insert at school only the toilet scary yes but you know how much that helped us when we are out in public and don t have our insert with us both the director and i knew that the first week would be rough he s been home with me all week and changing the routine would likely disturb him but we made a plan and she passed along the needed info to his teachers i think we were both nervous but hopeful days 6 10 thursday day 6 i knew i had to prep joey for the upcoming weekend we had a few things planned my graduation was on ...
