Day 1 at daycare was touch and go...
This morning he woke up dry again (AWESOME!), but again would not go pee for us (although he was perfectly willing to sit on the potty for a minute). He stayed dry in the car (though we did prepare for an accident, just in case, by lining his carseat with one of our little waterproof lap pads - which have been just sitting unused in our closet since Cora was a newborn). When we got to daycare we introduced him to the boy's bathroom and sat him up on one of the toilets (with one of their little seat converters like we've been using at home). Twice. He wouldn't pee either time, and wasn't thrilled with being there. He did, however, think that washing his hands in the short sinks was cool. We didn't want to push it though, so we passed him off to his teacher with instructions on how to remind him to tell her if he needed to pee and what his pee-pee dance looks like so she could watch for it.
They started off by sending him to go potty with the K2 class (they go every 30-40 minutes). He'd sit on the potty when the other kids did, but not go pee. At 9:35 (an hour and a half after being dropped off and over 2 hours from when he woke up), he had an accident. After the accident, his teacher cleaned him up and they tried sending him with K2 again on their next trip. No luck. Or the next time. And when he still wouldn't go before lunch, they worried about naptime... But he slept all 2 hours and stayed dry!
After nap his K1 teacher decided to take him herself (getting someone else to watch her room), BUT he wouldn't go for her either. Though he did apparently like sitting there and talking to her and playing with the toilet paper roll. She tried 5 times this afternoon, and finally, at 3:30, he made a full deposit (and got some M&Ms as reward)! Whoo-hoo!! He had gone up to his teacher and yelled "Mommy Mommy!" while grabbing himself, so she rushed him in and used my tricks (talking about the pee-pees). I was so happy when she texted me about that success that I nearly cried! (We were getting so worried about him holding it all day like that!) He was so proud of himself! The other kids gave him high-fives, and he was BEAMING. After that, his best buddy in his class started telling his mom (the teacher) "James potty. Me go potty!" She may be training him sooner than she'd planned!
And tonight, at 7:00, following a few false alarms (apparently gas feels the same as poop to a potty training toddler), he TOLD Jay that he had to pee-pee, then went. And made another full deposit! TOTALLY AWESOME!!
We were hoping to get him to go once more before bed, and he sat, but he didn't go. Maybe he was all out though, since we cut off his liquids after dinner (6:45/7:00, like we've been doing for about 2 weeks now in preparation for training). Hopefully he'll stay dry yet again tonight, and hopefully he'll have an even better day tomorrow. You know, for it only being his 4th day training, I'd say that 3 pee-pees all day and only ONE being an accident is pretty darn impressive! WAY TO GO Bub Bubs!!
