We've spent the last week attempting to potty train Lincoln. What a nightmare!!! He's only 22 months so still pretty early but we thought maybe he was ready since he would bring me a diaper just about every time he went. Starting last Thursday, we've tried to stay home as much as we could and see how it goes. It went horrible. By Friday night, after two full days of no shower and pretty much going nowhere, I turned it over to Marc for the evening. I said if he doesn't show some kind of sign of getting this by Sunday, I'm all done. We would take him every 20-30 min and then every 5-10 min when he didn't go after that. By the time we'd get to about 45 min, he'd sit for about 10 min on the toilet and nothing. No joke, about 30 seconds after he got up, he pee right in his underwear-happened almost every time. Final straw was on Friday night when Marc had been sitting with him for about 15 min-it'd been about an hour since he'd gone. Finally, Marc gives up and is going to let him get down. Linc stands right up on the stool and pees everywhere in the bathroom. So, we decided to be done. Then Sunday, Lincoln decided to go on the toilet three times so we decided to try again. Well, it's been a long week. We've been trying but the time or two we've got him has just been a fluke. He's not getting what we're trying to do here at all until this afternoon.
It's like a light went on and he gets it-at least that when he sits on the toilet, pee is supposed to come out. He's gone three times this afternoon and no accidents as of yet. We'll see if this is another fluke or if maybe just maybe, he's finally getting it.
