Potty Training Parker
Over the last few weeks, Parker has been showing an interest in potty training. He doesn’t want to wear a diaper and insists on wearing big boy underwear. I try to get him to compromise by letting him wear undies over his diaper, but he usually will take his diaper off and throw it away the second I turn my back on him. He also often wants to sit on the big toilet. This morning he got on the big toilet and went potty and was so excited. So I decided it would be a good time to get the little Elmo potty out and let him start using that all he wants. A little while ago I heard shrieking coming from upstairs. Sawyer and Olivia had just gotten home from school so I figured one of them must have taken a toy away from Parker. I went to investigate and instead found Parker with his little plastic potty seat stuck around his neck. He had taken it off the potty and pushed it down over his head. It was upside down so the hard plastic rough edge was sticking up. Jared and I could not get it off his head. Jared had to get hedge shears and cut it off. Leave it to Parker to do such a silly thing!
Here’s how our morning started:
And here’s how it ended:
