पोट्टी ट्रेनिंग राउंड तवो?

huh? In case you were wondering that says "potty training round two?" in hindi. just getting myself familiar before i start to study it hard core:) let me know by the way if you needed no explanation...:)

so i have been wondering when i should start potty training malachi, he will be 2 soon and every child is different. i have heard boys are later than girls but a second child throws curve balls into that idea.

arwyn just had to go potty and i told her to use my toilet since we were all in my room. malachi decided he wanted to too:

C: potty mommy
M:what? you want to go potty?
C: mmmhmmm!
M: (deciding that i better start encouraging it if i want it to be sooner rather than later)OK, lets go!

I was about to put him on my potty when i realized i better start from square one, not just jump in where arwyn is.So we went to thier bathroom where the potty seat is. I toook off his diaper and set him on the potty seat and said " ok , go." shortly after that I realized "he is boy, you can't just plop him on like you can a girl, you have to scoot him back and tuck it in, ooohhhh this was going to be more complicated!".

so i scooted him back and tucked in down

A: what are you doing mom?
M: um....... boys are different than girls.
C: need it mom...(pointing to the toilet paper)
M: no, boys dont use toilet paper
A: why?
M: cause they just wiggle it and thats it, they use topilet paper for poop though (trying to avoid any more questions about the prior statement)
M: chi are you all done?
C: no, need toilet paper
M: nope that's not for you right now
C: im all done

I go to put his diaper on

C: no diaper!

hah! if only it was that easy!

suddenly a fun experiment to get him excited about potty training became so complicated... maybe we will wait a year for part two!
