Social Question
Do you have any potty training stories to tell?
I have a few but I’ll just retell one:
When my oldest was 2½ she had recently finished potty training successfully. Sleeping through the night, the whole 9 yards.
Well, she got in trouble once, sent to time out. She was mad. So she peed in her pants right there on the hard wood time out floor. I know she thought it was going to get her a quick release….but guess what. Mom said, “Well, that’s disgusting! But it’s OK. Just sit there. It won’t hurt you. You can clean it up when your time is up.”
She didn’t do it again.
Same kid, about the same time. We were at Goodwill. Suddenly she took off like a shot. I went after her. Got there to see her drop her drawers and plop herself down on a little potty chair that was out on the floor for sale! It was funny! I got to her in time to redirect her to an actual bathroom.
