Accidents Happen

So if your wondering how the potty training is going, weve had a few bumps in the road. Overall though he's getting it! There alot of Stickers on his chart.

Yes, we are in a store and that is a puddle of pee, poor kid. Leaving the house without a Pullup as a safety net is a dangerous game. I wonder how many other moms out there deal with puddles of pee or worse in the middle of shopping after you just took them to the bathroom?

These portable potty seats are the best, they can go on the toliet or fold out anywhere and they come with disposable liners and fit in your purse. As long as you don't get embarassed letting you child pee in a parking lot, the side of the road etc., its better than in the carseat right.

Such a good boy peeing in his potty outside Target.

WARNING: Poop in Post

It's kind of sad that I'm afraid of this.....

But I am. Why you ask? Because I have made a few attempts to potty train before. Blake is almost 3 years old and I think he should be potty trained by now. But last time I tried I made the mistake of buying him this DVD (he was heavy into his Thomas the Train phase)

I'm sure you can guess how this story ends, he needed mud for his trains to play in and we had been talking about nothing but poop that week. I put him down for a nap and a couple minutes later a smell was all over the living room. I went in his room and found this...

No thats not chocolate pudding!

It hard to see from the photos but it was everywhere, in all his trains the tracks the perimeter of his bed, in his bed etc. Worst of all it happened twice before. I was too upset to photograph it, it was much worse. Were talking caveman wall poop fingerpainting. I am kind of crazy when it comes to germs too so everything had to be hosed off and then bleached.

So now we are giving it another go. I've heard other moms saying the 3 day potty training method works on the http://www.thebump.com/ boards and have decided to give that a try. It is a decent read about 40 pages and once I find time to read it, we'll start again, keep your fingers crossed for me.
