SMALL FAN has been off diaper and able to urine on his own into the toilet bowl for almost half-a-year now. However, as he is a really active child, he can't sit still to do his "poo poo" in the potty. He has managed to poo in the potty occasionally, but the poo always ended some in the potty some on the floor.Yesterday while I was having dinner, SMALL FAN wanted to poo poo and asked to put on his diaper. As I was eating my dinner, I told him to wait a while for me to finish up first. Instead of waiting, he walked to the bathroom, took out his small red potty and sit on it. Sitting on the potty was really boring so he started talking to Baby FAN (she was sitting on her walker moving around in it). Then, he did a half squat and give a huge push and there was this big pile of shit. Cool...he did it! I kept praising him, and thought...that it, he is a big boy now. Then while I just finish washing his backside, he starting doing his business in the bathroom floor :( Luckily, it's just a little, so I managed to wash it away and clean his backside the 2nd time. Then before I can wear his pants, he ran to the study room and hide in one corner and said he want to poo poo there. I screamed and asked him to go to the bathroom which he obediently did. So I wash his backside for the 3rd time...:( In any case, I still praise him for being so independent, taking the potty, taking of his pants and pooing on his own.
My SMALL FAN....dunno to laugh or not...what a dramatic poo pooing experience for the mommy...
get a more stable potty. we got one from ikea at $4. the round one is shaky and that might be the reason.
ReplyDeleteWe got a more stable one sitting in the storeroom, he used it as toy to play, so we kept it. Now he is reverting back to diaper, refuse to poo poo on the potty. So nowadays, he poo poo at late hours at night when we wear his diaper for him, so ended up sleeping late ;(
ReplyDeleteif that's the case then dun rush him... maybe wait a bit bit more then try again.
ReplyDeleteOn saturday, SMALL FAN says he want to poo poo, so I get the potty, put it in front of the TV and ask him to poo and watching TV. Surprisingly, he did his business there ;) But on Sunday, he was back to poo pooing in his diaper when he wakes up in the morning before we can change him.
