It's been a while since I have updated you all on Zander's potty training. To make a long story short, we have paused the process. Day 3 of potty training went REALLY good! Zander pee'd in the potty about 6 times and we jumped for joy (literally) every time he did! But something got to him on day 4, and I think he may have gotten overwhelemed or scared, but he started to whine and cry when on the potty and just wasnt himself. As much as I want him to be potty trained right now, he was straight out telling us he wasnt ready. I didn't stress about it at all. I just said okay, and let him lead. We still put Zander on the potty a few times a day out of his interest and so that he does not loose that comfort of sitting on a toilet. I think that we will try again right before, or at his 2nd birthday (well not the day OF of course :) )
All in all, some may view this as a fail. I view it as a learning experience. And a stress free one at that. I didnt push Zander to do anything he didnt want to, and when he told me he wasnt ready, I listened. In an interesting way, I believe that this not only taught me what not to do next time around, but it also helped me be in cue with my son 100% (or at least fairly close), and the most important thing, it actually brought us closer.
