After our last visit with Patty in December, she told me to start having Squirt let me know when he has gone poop, have him lead the way to the get changes, and make him get the diaper. It's more challenging and time consuming than it sounds. At first he didn't tell me, but you definitely knew when he would go. I would have him go upstairs and grab a diaper. I'm so excited because now he lets me know (he signs and says op) and sometimes he lets me know before he goes and starts to head upstairs. The only problem is he is now rebelling against grabbing a diaper and getting changed. He'll eventually do it but I fell like I have to be sort of a hard @$$ about it. I'm not quite sure if this will work in my favor or against it. We don't see Patty for a few more weeks....I feel slightly lost without my coach.
The ultimate goal is to have him potty trained by the time he is two. That may get set back a few months because of his surgery, hopefully not.
Until then, I just have to remember consistency is the key and they don't call it training for nothing :)
If you have any suggestions or advice, it is more than welcome!!!!!
