Potty Training: Day 6

Today went pretty well. Noah started off with pooping in his night diaper and peeing while on my lap but after that it went well. He went about every 30 minutes except for one 1 1/2 stretch. That stretch stressed me out a little. I didn't want Noah making a mistake while eating lunch, nursingLuke, etc. It seems like at least one time during the day everything seems to happen at once where it is hard to manage potty training with everything else. After that I put a pull up diaper on him. He did really well with that. I think he liked the freedom of being on the couch and whenever he wanted without me stressing out about it. He never made a mistake in the diaper and went on the potty every time. I am thankful he is now going on the tiny porter potty as well as the big potty in the bathroom. I was worried for a time that he wouldn't ever want to go on the big potty.


I think it will be a while until I am comfortable taking him in public. I am not excited about sticking his cute little bottom on a public toliet. I might have to wipe it off before I let him sit there and put his hands all over it...Ahhhh! I am grossed out just thinking about it. And I am saying that after cleaning up poop, was peed on, spit up on, and everything else today.


Nana gave Noah a big Thomas the Train pillow for doing so well potty training. I had such a hard time trying to decide between the Thomas pillow and either Woody or Buzz. He loves them all but Thomas matches to well with his room theme. He loves it! He is such a big boy!

Hooray Emily! You have done such a great job, and so has Noah!

For public pottying, look up potty seat covers (or something like that) on Amazon. I think there are some options there--maybe a foldable kids potty or maybe some big paper covers. Caleb still can't hold himself up on the big potty, so I hold him under his arms, and that keeps his hands from going everywhere.
