Jonah has continued to do great with potty training! My two concerns earlier were about going at school, and that he preferred the little potty. Well, he already is overcoming those two concerns.
Today he did great going to the bathroom at school. They have a bathroom connected to their classroom, so it is pretty convenient. I think on Thursday I will let him wear a Pull-up at school for the last time, then send underwear for him to change into at school.
Since the preschool doesn't have a little potty, he had to go in a big one and was fine. Today after school when he needed to go, I asked him if he wanted to go in the big potty or the little potty, and he chose the big one! So there he goes again, exceeding my expectations. I don't even have to hide the little potty- he already is okay with the big one. Awesome!
Anyway, sorry for posting about this so much. I am just floored that it has been so smooth for Jonah. I totally underestimated him and I guess potty training in general.
Eden will be doing it soon, I think. She has been wanting to sit on the potty like Jonah and even has been telling me when she poops. One kid at a time, though. Man, that will be nice to have only one kid in diapers when I have been used to three! That will save me about $60 a month, plus in a month when Levi quits formula, that will be another $50 or $60 a month! Woo hoo! I might celebrate and get the kids a trampoline! But I digress...

You are so funny Connie! I think it is great that you are posting about Jonah's potty success. It is part of your family history. And I think updates are great. Ü That is awesome that he is doing so good. I am sure it is nice to have one out of diapers. They are expesive. I was hoping to get Jade potty trained before the baby comes, but we will see what happens. Great job Jonah, keep up the good work!
This is not such a trivial thing. I just told Heavenly Father that I was grateful that Jonah is potty training. Nothing is too menial to Heavenly Father, I've been told...
I like to hear his progress too but it makes me a little worried about Marce, that things might not go as smoothly as Jonah's. What does digress mean? I know what regression is but digress??
I just meant that I was getting off of the subject. I don't think you should worry about Marce- he'll probably do fine. just because Jonah is doing well, doesn't mean Marce won't! I guess you'll have to just wait and see!
Yay, Jonah!!! CONGRATS!
I was just thinking, you may already have experienced this... but you know those automatic flushing toilets you find at stores or libraries or whatever? They can really scare a kid who is just getting used to the potty, because they often flush before the child is ready for it. To fix the problem (I got this idea from a friend of mine), before they get on the pot, just take a bit of toilet paper and hang it over the toilet's "sensor" thing, and then it won't flush until you flush it manually... when your child is off the potty and is ready for that industrial strength "whoosh" (which IS pretty darn scary!).
Wow- good advice! Thanks! Those things even scare me- I'm sure Jonah would freak out!
Awesome for Jonah! Make sure you keep doing whatever you're doing because it's working! And you have all the bragging rights you want. Shout it to the world as only a mother can, "My kid goes on the toilet, and I rock!" Post all you want...it IS a big deal!
