We decided to start potty training with Evan about a week ago. For the last 3 or 4 weeks, he will wet each time you open his diaper to change him. Almost on command. Since we started potty training one week ago, he has pooped 2 times in the potty (both times just yesterday) and has wet in the potty more than 20 times. He is doing great! I know it will be a while before he goes all the time and it will be a while before he wets his diaper, but I'm glad we're introducing it to him early. As much as he hates wet diapers, I think he will be a fast learner. He goes potty within 30 seconds of setting him on the seat. I don't keep him on it very long.
We sing songs and give him lots of praises each time he goes. He just smiles big like he knows he did something great.
His RSV is all better now. We did find out that he is allergic to Amoxicillin. He got a bad rash on his cheeks, chin, and hand. He was on the antibiotic to treat/prevent an ear infection. His ear canals are small and more prone to infection than most babies, so we treat them aggressively. We want to make sure his hearing is not impaired, which could affect his speech development later on. So far his hearing and speech are great!
Wish us luck as we are on this potty adventure!
Elimination Communication is what potty learning is called at this age :) Evan's cues seem to be easy to read!
