Adventures in Potty Training

Today is the first day of intense potty training with Charlie. After reading lots of different articles, I was prepared for Charlie not wanting to sit on the potty, fears on falling in, and not wanting to flush or wash his hands. Charlie (being Charlie) presented me with a whole different set of issues.

We started the day off well. Charlie loved sitting on the potty and was so excited that he got to flush. He was able to tell us when he wanted to go. The issue is that he loves the potty. All he wants to do is sit on it. He talks to his pee. He waves bye-bye to it. He even hugs the toilet. He threw a pretty good tantrum when we made him get out of the bathroom and drink something so he could go some more.

I am interested to see what tomorrow will bring. Hopefully he hasn’t lost his enthusiasm.
