One week ago I began potty-training Asher.I was surprised at how well it went. With Jaxon, I discovered the only way to ensure that he used the potty was to let him run around naked for a few days.
So, last Thursday was Asher's first naked day. He didn't have any pee accidents, and only one poo accident, but the next day the poo and pee all made it into the potty.
Here's a great pic of Ash on his first day, with a game box on his head. It makes a great hat.
It's been 8 days, and Asher is still doing fine peeing on the potty. However, with a few exceptions, the first 2 days, he hasn't pooped on the potty. In fact, he's hardly pooped at all.
My veggie loving, always regular child has constipated himself for fear of the toilet.
About 4 times a day, he'll yell "poo poo!" grab his bum, and run to the potty. But then nothing happens.
He has pooped in his diaper, but those were very traumatic events for him.
So, I've been giving him prune juice and more than his fair share of fruits and veggies, hoping that he'll get through this uncomfortable part of potty-training.
So, Mark's suggestion is that we put him back into diapers (oh, he won't wear big boy underwear, or Pull-Ups, so diapers is what he wears for sleeping and outings) for a while.
But, I'm torn. Will it undo a weeks worth of training?
Or, is this constipation a sign that he really isn't ready?
Oh, and the last two pictures are when Asher got into my make-up.
He's pretty cute, isn't he?
