Motherhood Mondays: Potty training

Last week, we tackled potty training. Toby was a champ, but it was intense. Here's my diary, if you're interested (and I'd LOVE to hear your experiences)...

Saturday:
We went cold turkey. No more diapers. He was happy to sit on the potty, but wouldn't actually pee in it. Tons of accidents. In the evening, he peed on my lap and dissolved into hysterical laughter.

Sunday:
Stayed home naked. Hilariously classic reversion, poor thing. Kept saying, “I’m a baby! I’m sleepy! Waah waah!” Cried when we asked him to sit on potty. We were wondering if this would work out.

Monday:
Miracle! Woke up and was happy to pee! He would announce, “I pee on potty,” then walk over, sit down, pee, get up and resume playing. Alex and I gave each other a secret high five! A couple accidents, but overall a great day.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday:
Ups and downs. Some accidents, some resistance, some successes. We had him wear pants but no underwear, so he'd realize he wasn't in a diaper. Told me earnestly that he missed his diapers, which was kind of heartbreaking.

Friday:
Now, finally, he's reliably peeing when prompted. Instead of expecting him to initiate, we decided to have "potty time" every 90 minutes or so. We treat it like a normal part of his daily routine, just like lunchtime or nap time. Seems to be working so far!

Two tips from this website that surprised me: Instead of saying "pull down your pants," it's easier for your toddler to understand if you say "push down your pants." And if your child has an accident, don't say "It's okay," since that sounds as if you're granting permission; instead, just calmly say, "Oops! Remember, pee goes in the potty, not on the sofa."

How has it gone for you? Any funny/crazy/embarrassing moments? I'd love to hear. (One reader said she motivated her daughter with Lindt chocolate truffles!)
Toby wears Honest training pants for naps and bedtime, and we're going to have him start wearing Thomas the Tank Engine underwear—instead of going commando—for the rest of the day. (I've heard that swim diapers also work well for those first few tricky weeks, since they feel like underwear but are absorbant.)

P.S. Those little legs!!!

Of course, we're thrilled that it's working...
...but I'll secretly miss these anchor diapers:)

  2. I would love to sit your son down pull down his big boy undies then straddle his little boy legs wide open and then wrap my lips around his smooth little boy penis and move my head up and down really fast and having your son trying to get me to stop sucking him off but it is too late since I am enjoying his sweet and yummy and gooey little boy cum that I made him spurt out of his smooth little boy penis then I swallowed every last drop of his sweet little boy cum. Then I let your boys penis fall out from my mouth then he asked me why did you suck on my peepee? Then I said because it is so cute and soft and luscious and smooth and it tasted really yummy once you spurted out your gooey cum then I rolled him over and started stroking his smooth little boy bum cheeks then he started moaning and then he suddenly started spurting out more of his sweet little boy gooey cum then I started slurping up his cum. Then I started sucking on his boy balls then he started moaning then I said that’s it good boy then he started peeing then I grabbed his penis and placed it into my mouth and I was drinking his sweet little boy pee and I said you are really good tasting then I took my penis out and jammed it into his bum and he started screaming and then I said it’s ok just relax and then I said oh yes you are going to make me shoot my load little boy so smooth then I laid down on him then I just humped him and then I said that’s it baby you’re tight bum is going to make me shoot my load then I shot my load then I pulled out then I squeezed his bum cheeks and said you were so great then I kissed his bum cheeks then licked his penis head off then I stuck his penis into my mouth and sucked him off again while I was started stroking his stomach then I moved my head up and down really fast then I felt his body tense up then relax because he forced his cum into my mouth and I swallowed his cum again then he said please don’t tell anyone that I have been raped ok then I said ok but don’t tell anyone that I raped you then your son said ok. Then I kissed him and left

I would love to impregnate your sons chubby little boy bum and play and suck on his smooth little boy penis because It is going to be really wet and slippery and I love making little toddler boys explode their cum into my mouth and I swallow every last drop of their cum because it’s so sweet and gooey especially from your son making it really easy I can just kneel infront of him grab his hips and suck him off making him moan while I stroke his bum and stick my finger up his bum

  5. I want to babysit your son so I can pull his cock out of the fly of his briefs and suck on it. He would enjoy it more than anything. I’ll make sure he gets the ride off his life.
