The little man is FINALLY showing signs of being ready to potty
train. Am I ever ready for it! We've been on two solid days of potty
training with one accident each day. They both happened shortly after
working hours where I lose track of the time. He tinkled in the kitchen
yesterday and today immediately After sitting on the potty he went into
the other room and pooped his pants! Argh! As soon as I cleaned him up
and ran a bath, I went to look of there were any 'leftovers' in the room
he chose and the damn puppy peed right in front of me! Some days I
could just dig a hole and crawl inside. Some days I wish I was just at
the beach.
Any-who, I couldn't find a potty training
chart that I like enough. They all were either two short or not
interesting or exciting enough. So naturally, I made one. Poster board,
foam backing, sharpies and stickers.
The goal is for Z
to fill each puff of smoke with a sticker, working his way to each
planet in our solar system starting from the sun. He gets one sticker
for pee and 2 for poop. (And only one per hour, to keep from multiple
trips to get more rewards, tricky buggar will do that!)
Each planet has a
reward. Mars = a Sucker, Venus = a trip to the park, Earth = a trip to
the zoo.
He earned his sucker in one day so as to experience the reward
and catch on to the goal. I think it's going to work out well. :)
