That moment when your mom tells you you can have candy if you poop on the potty but you just finished pooping in your pants before your mom sat you on the toilet? Ya, it looks like

With that said, I’m done being a lazy ass; I’ve committed to potty training. What does this mean, you ask? It means that I travel with extra toddler clothing in my car. It means that when we went to the beach the other day I brought a portable toilet. It means I say, “Do you have to use the potty?” more times than I say “no”. And I say “no” a lot. It means that outside the bathroom door is a bag of M&Ms. It means I sit him on every public toilet regardless if he says he doesn’t have to go. It means that before leaving the house, in addition to putting shoes on, gathering snacks, changing Van’s diaper, getting dressed, and so on and so forth, we also sit on the toilet. It means that he wears underwear during his nap, which also means I run the risk of a nap time interruption to use the potty.
And you know what? It’s not as bad as I thought. He still refers to the public toilet scene as “scary”, but he goes when I sit him on the seat. Nap times have not suffered in the least. He’s had a few accidents, but they are few and far between and he’s able to hold his pee overnight most nights. We use a mix of underwear, training pants, and pull ups. At night we still use diapers but plan on transitioning him to pull-ups as he’s gone several nights in a row without wetting his diaper. The only box left to check was the poop box, but he’s doing that without a problem now too. I think he was holding out on us for fear of having a ghost turd… Not familiar with ghost turd?
Per Urban Dictionary:
Ghost Turd: |

When you sit on the can and you can swear you’re droppin a load, but when you turn around to admire your work there’s no sign of itExample: Oh, man, i just laid a ghost turd. |

Oh that face! Priceless!
So, just discovered your blog and I love it because Van is one of my favorite names and the name we picked out for our second son. Who isn’t conceived yet, because I’m not pregnant yet and don’t plan on it for another year or so, but still. It will be Van. So kudos on the awesome names.
Also, this entry had me laughing…and dreading when it’s our town to potty train!
Oh my goodness. You are way too funny. I can’t wait to tell my boyfriend Jim about ghost turds.
Totally effing hilarious! That face! I took a different approach to potty training my daughter. We let her wear pull-ups until she told us she wanted real undies. I suspect she was shamed into using the toilet by some neighbor kids. We never fought about using the potty. One day she just started using it and never looked back. Im not sure how much different it is for boys or what our strategy will be this time around with our little guy. We have some time to formulate a plan though being that he’s still only 5.5 months. Good Luck Mama!!!! LOL

PRECIOUS!!!!
I can totally commiserate on the potty training front. The first few days of our potty journey SUCKED, but once I changed my attitude, it was fine (funny how that goes, isn’t it??) So, my kid has been more or less potty trained for a year, but nigh times? No. I have no idea how encourage her to hold her pee until morning. I’m afraid to wake her up for a midnight tinkel because she kinda digs being awake generally, and I fear a potty trip will be an excuse for a midnight toddler party. Why is this so complicated???
(Oh, ps, I got in touch with your designer…thanks for linking to her a few posts back! She’s really fantastic!!)
Woo hoo! You’re #2. and that photo is too priceless!!!
I was going really well with toilet training and then it got cold. No nappy on Jarvis can’t wait to use the toilet. Nappy on, the kid does not care. Any hints on training a boy during cold months?
