Kindly pee in this bowl, please and thank you.
We're fast approaching the 27 month mark and I haven't even attempted potty training Nugget.
Thought about it? Sure.
Researched potties? Absolutely. (But, then I got side tracked by something shiny like a multi-functional can opener that also serves as an alley-fight weapon, orange peeler, and nose picker.)
Now? I'm sort of more serious. Serious enough to even request a potty training DVD from the wonderful people at Huggies. A video that Nugget seems to have taken an unnatural liking to. Read: he wants to watch it over his Thomas videos.
All of the questions start flooding in now. Don't boys stand when they pee? If I teach him to sit to pee, will he end up a fruity-tooty fairy boy? These are the important questions people. Not "How will I clean up the pee that misses the potty?" or "Will I have more laundry to do everyday with the bed-wetting?" Pfffft! Cockafooey!
So, the hunt is on for the perfect little potty to get us started. I'm keeping an eye on Target, but will gladly accept the tips you moms'o'boys have on getting the dude to drop the drawers, do his deed, and carry on with all of his dudely duties. Dude.
*The Big Kid Central DVD is available for anyone. I was not provided the video per any arrangement with Huggies. Also, I just love Target to pieces, (you should know this by now) and just love giving them mad props.

We are having the world's longest potty training here. Have had the potties since October and the girls have successfully gone in them but still in diapers. I am about to try the extreme method of throwing away the diapers and doing underwear full time.
4/12/10 11:35 AMBoys sit first, then learn to stand and aim. Mostly because they're not good at distinguishing whether they have to do #1 or #2, and often surprise themselves. Take your time. Neither of my boys were fully potty-trained until 3yo.
4/12/10 11:40 AML started using the potty at 23 months. She continued to use the potty like a perfectly potty trained little girl, until about 3 weeks ago. Now we've had more accidents than a house full of puppies. ARGH!
