My son will be 3 in September. He just recently started talking a few months ago. And so I tried to potty train him at age 2 and it didn't work because he didn't talk enough to tell me that he had gone potty so I waited to try again until last week now that he is talking alot more. He is doing great now. We are on day 5 and things are going great. I am doing all the potty training so of course he sits down to pee and poop. Today we had a slight problem though. We were at Walmart and he had already used the family restroom there once without a problem. Our Walmart has the little potty in the family restroom which is perfect because my son is tiny and is scared of the big potty, I think because of his size he is afraid of falling in. So the little potty there is the only one he will use. So we went back to use the family restroom because he told me he had to go again. When we got there it was locked so we knocked. I heard the toilet flush and a lady start laughing. So we moved back and we stood there for at least 4 or 5 minutes, then I felt my son pee. He had on underwear with rubber pants over them. He held it as long as he could and then at that exact moment the door opened. When the door opened I was irrate, not at my son but at what I saw. A woman and her teen age daughter came out of the restroom. There is no reason that I can think of that they needed to use the "little" potty. My son cried the rest of the time in the store and pulled at his pants because he was wet and upset that he had an accident. I just couldn't get over the two women in the restroom. We left the store as soon as possible.
That is not the funny part the funny part was yesterday. Yesterday we went out to the lake and we took the potty chair with us. My son used the potty chair like a big out at the lake like a champ it was great then on the way home he says Mommy me pee now! So we pull over at this abandoned gas station and my husband decides its the perfect time for him to learn how to pee standing up. Well my son is standing there with his pants down and has no idea what is going on so my husband decides he needs to show him how its done:
Right after this picture a rabbit came running out of the woods and my son stops trying to pee and is screaming about the rabbit and a guy on a motorcycle pulls up and stops and stares at my husband who is peeing and my husband doesn't see the guy and I am in the jeep laughing so hard I almost pee myself! My son did not pee standing up, my husband did, the biker got a free show and I got a great laugh! Oh and so did my youngest daughter who had a great time out at the lake that day too.
