When I started this post 3 1/2 weeks ago, I thought potty training would be over...But, it's not. We said goodbye to diapers cold turkey on Good Friday. Those first 3 days were rough. The potty went with us everywhere, including the driveway.
By day 4, Lachlan had really mastered peeing in the potty and has done great ever since.
Poop, however, has been a much bigger challenge than anticipated! He is not usually my stubborn child, but on this issue, he wins the prize! He refuses to go on the potty and tries to hold it as long as possible. He can get pretty cranky because it's hard work concentrating on not pooping for 6 days. We added a little milk of mag to the routine to help prevent the holding, but all that's done is lead to some yucky accidents in unfortunate places. I'm hesitant to go back to diapers, so I guess I'll just be patient...He's very excited about getting a new car and going to the ice cream shop when the poop lands in the potty; just not excited enough to do it yet.
In other news, the week before the potty training, Lachlan decided to go pacifier free. He was by far our easiest one. Just one night of crying and he never looked back. A sticker chart and promise of a new car helped the process along. I'm happy that our house is now completely paci free since Poppy never took one!
