Today went well. Noah didn't have a mistake until around 5pm. He was going every 30 minutes or so and did well. I tried to get him to go around 5pm because I know he needed to. I could tell that he just sat on there and didn't try. I kept telling him to try and he didn't. One minute later he made a mistake on the couch :( I was upset with him more because he didn't try than making a mistake that could have been avoided. I should have made him try by force but was trying to make it a more pleasent experience today; especially since he was doing so well. After that he was sentenced back to the tile after getting the privalege of being on the carpet all day. I feel bad for him...he isn't even 2 1/2 yet but I now he can do this if he tries as most of the day proved. We even had company today and he did well with that. My friend Laine and her two boys came to visit. It was really nice to visit with her but it was also a bit crazy at times given that we had four kids to watch all under the age of 2 1/2.
I will continue to limit Noah's drinking tomorrow and make him go every 30 minutes. I guess that will be the plan until he can learn to tell me consistantly when he needs to go himself. He is able to at times but it just depends on how exciting the activity is at the time. Most of the children who have recetly been trained are still not able to do that so I imagine that will not be any time soon...Noah is not even 2 1/2! I am so proud of him!
