My son is a little over 3 years old and potty training has been somewhat of a challenge - though I think we're progressing in a positive direction. Over the past week, he has shown much more interest, asking me to use the potty. Last week, when we went into the bathroom, he waddled up to the toilet like a pro and within minutes, had done his first pee pee in the potty! I was so proud! We sang out loud, did a potty dance and he earned a couple of stars for reward. Last night, enthusiastically, my son said "Mommy, I need to go potty!" We hurried to the bathroom, where I lifted the toilet seat, pointed him towards the toilet and encouraged him to try. Within seconds, he swung around and plop! went hiney first into the toilet with a big splash. The sad look on his face said it all. I'm hoping for better luck next time and that this little incident doesn't have a lasting effect on the progression we've made up to this point!
