Davey did not make his own knock knock joke. It goes like this:
Davey: Knock, knock.
Me: Who's there?
Davey: Poop! Bawaaaaaa!
Is that a sign of readiness? My plan is a lot of nakeyness and lots of sunscreen in the backyard this week. I've been reading that is a good method. I'm also busting out all rewards I thought he did not need. M & Ms do not motivate me. I'm hoping they do not motivate Davey.
It is not Monday and time again for Not Me Monday. It is a meme where we share all the things we did Not this week. MckMama is our host at My Charming Kids . Go over there to see what other people remember not doing this week too.

Hang in there. It feels like two steps back, one step forward most days but he'll get it. Have you tried letting him tell you when he needs to go? I remember with my oldest I was always asking him if he had to go, he would say no then pee on the floor right in front of me. Once I told him, he was in charge of when he needed to go, he got it.
I agree with Jen... let him tell you. The accidents teach them. And contrary to popular belief, little boys do NOT relish being poopy-dirty. That's what I learned in potty-training Evan.
Btw: he threw poopy pants at you? Sorry, but that's a little funny. =)
I got peed on last night when I put Evan on the potty because he was so sleepy he couldn't direct it. Full change of clothes. oh well. =)
Potty training is so gross! I am a germaphobe and it is a constant battle in the bathroomwith my middle guy. He touches everything! Then his classic move while I am helping with his pants is to slap my cheeks with both hands and rub them around! So nasty! I definitely feel like clorox wiping my face after that!
I'd go with the Clorox too...although be thankful it only landed on your arm..could have been much much worse!
too funny about the poopy diaper toss! (of course I can say that because it didn't happen to me ;-)
Don't give up! If you stop now it will be so much harder to train him later because he'll think you'll give up again! And yes, naked babies in the yard is a great way to train!
Stress not! Far too soon he'll be pottytrained and growing up all too fast and this will just be a distant memory. =0)
Naked in the backyard sounds like a great idea. =0)
Happy Monday!
LOL...I remember potty training my oldest and he would ask for his diaper on just to poop. When I asked a nurse about it they said to put the diaper on and let him go in it. As long as he would pee in the potty, he was potty trained. One day it just clicked. He is now 8 and it seems sooo long ago. =D
Oh man, the memories of raising my own daughter... The potty humor joke I recall best (I think she brought it home in 1st grade--ya gotta love public school), used whenever Mrs ER or I were using the toilet:
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Big?
Big who?
Big enormous dumpie!!!
Good luck to you. I'm still trying to get my now 3 yr old interested in potty training. Tried naked in the backyard but that didn't work nor did M & M's--possibly because he can pull the chair to the counter, climb it, then get them off the top of the fridge by himself. I keep telling him he can't go to VBS or school (MDO) if he isn't trained so I've got until late August to get this done!
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
