Now the problem. Cooper is the problem. More specifically Cooper and potty training. He does not want to. I've been taking it easy on him thinking when he's ready he'll let us know. But he's 2 and a half now and still in diapers. I've decided that this week since Gabe started school Cooper will be in intense potty training. And we have been aaaaall week. Every hour or half hour we're making a trip to the potty. If he doesn't go at the hour mark we wait a half hour and try again. I've also put him in regular underwear thinking that if he feels the mess more that it will help him. Well he just doesn't care either way. It doesn't bother him to be in a mess, he doesn't want to quit what he's doing to go potty. He just doesn't care. A couple times he's peed and then stopped to play in the puddle he made! Just now we went to the potty and he sat there for 10 minutes and did not pee, and then went directly to the living room, hid behind a curtain and peed. WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH HIM??!! I'm starting to get mad, and I know that's not going to help. So........ help....... please
Not sure if this will be helpful, but my neice took 364 days to fully potty train. They just let her do it in her own time. Just relax, he'll get it. Have you tried putting a potty chair in the livingroom? Let him sit on it (with clothes on) so it becomes a regular thing, not so much a big deal. Just a thought. Our potty chair sat in our livingroom for a few months and Aliya would go in it when she didn't want to take the time to go all the way to the bathroom. Good luck!!!
