In May I ordered a Baby Bjorn potty chair for Cash thinking
that it would be nice to have around when he was ready to start using the
potty. When it came he thought it was a great new toy! We explained that it was
for “boop” (poop) and pee and showed him how to use it. Soon after he started
sitting on it and laughing. I figured it was time to start sitting him on in in
the morning because he was waking up with dry diapers and then peeing
immediately.
When Cash was about 17 months old he started telling us when
he was about to poop and as soon as he would be he would say “wet” and want his
diaper off. He started peeing on his potty chair when we remembered to put him
and it and more often that not woke up with a dry nighttime diaper.
On August 3rd he used his potty chair without
being prompted for the first time! Things progressed quickly from there. I
think he would have potty learned earlier had we put the diapers away but I
just kept thinking he was way too young!
We went on vacation shortly after that and continued to use
diapers because it was just easier when we were out of town. When we got back
we bought him a blue potty toilet seat cover for the “big potty” and he thought
that was super cool. It really got the ball rolling so I ordered some Sloomb
trainers and after they came we officially packed up the diapers on September
15th.
Since then Cash has been doing great! He has only had 2 or 3
nighttime accidents and the occasional daytime accident when we don’t get to a
potty in time. When we’re home he does great. He tells us he needs to “boop,
pee” and then runs to his potty chair to get the job done!
