Grant is THREE now - it is time. He has shown very little interest. Actually, he has been on an antibiotic for a double ear infection that has caused diahrea so we couldn't give potty training a fair shot.
I bought him new Mickey Mouse underwear to pump up his excitement - but he could have cared less....
Enter big brother, Jack as Grant's "potty coach" and interest levels are at level high!
Jack has been encouraging Grant to use the potty the same time he has to use the potty so then can go together. This has been effective! And Jack even cheered on Grant as he went number 2 on the potty. I had no idea this was going on. But Grant was wanting to impress his big brother desperately.
I have a goodie bag they BOTH can earn items from after Grant goes potty. One for the toddler and one for the "teacher."
The best part of potty training is feeling very much like a big kid washing his hands and flushing the toilet.
It's the little things in life that makes me so proud. I love the teamwork I see in my children. Makes me smile!
