Today I started potty training Bennett. I am not sure he is ready but Nick and I are so we wanted to give it our best shot. This week day care is closed and we are watching him (my mom is helping) so the timing works out. I decided the best route was to go cold turkey. I took his diaper off and put on just his shorts. I asked him to tell me when he had to go pee pee or poopy and let him play. Sadly, he did not ask to use the potty once... He had accidents all day long. He would run over to me and let me know when he was wet because he peed himself and did not like the feeling. I would remind him to let me know before he peed so I could help him use the potty. Needless to say, I was getting really frustrated with the state of things by the late afternoon. The worst accident was when he pooped himself in the kitchen as I was half way through opening a bottle of wine. I was very happy to see Nick come home.
Overall, Bennett had 12 accidents today. I ran a full load of laundry and drank a full bottle of wine. I am ready to give up but... we decided to give it one more day.
