Zayben Potty Monkey Day 2 through 6

Ok Friday was my bussy day of the week. I have so much going on I wasn't able to keep up with Potty Training. In fact I forgot Zayben's potty monkey at home. Yes I heard about it when we left but didn't have time to head back home for it. Later in the evening we did try a few times but I was very tired I didn't push too much and let the pull-up do the work. Bad mom I know.

Sat. when we are out and about I didn't worry to much about making him try. Other then when we were at the grocery store and I had to go so took him along too. The seats are so high he wasn't able to try to stand at the big people potty so I had him sit down. OPPs he almost fell in he is just so little and public toilets have a wider hole then the ones at home. We did pick up some "potty candy" as he calls it. (gummy bears and gummy worms) If he tries he gets 1 gummy bear, if he actually goes he gets 1 gummy worm.

Sun. was a relax and spend time with the family day. When my teens are home we play games, family outings, or just mess around the house. He tried several times but still isn't able to go in the potty. He does sit and try but it seems that it is just after and accident.

Mon. was a little better he actually he went potty 2 times! Yeahhhh Zayben!!!! It was only a few drops once and a little puddle in his potty chair. He was soo excited he got 2 gummy worms that day. Monkey was carried around most of the day by the tail and Zayben even told me when Monkey said he had and accident. (Potty Monkey will ask 3 times to go potty and then say he had and accident if you don't get him on his potty) Apparently Monkey didn't want to wait while Zayben was playing trains. ha ha

My sister is doing the reward system with her son but has found that she has to set a 15 minute limit between candy, because Little Kevin can tinkle a little and a few minutes later a little more he was making a killing on the candy until she set the time limit for him. Zayben hadn't figured that out yet. Like I said before each child is different. Little Kevin seems to be able to potty on demand but is very stubburn and only when he feels like it. He will fight, or go limp on the floor rather then even try. So she just keeps asking nicely and tries to bribe him. We will be getting him a potty monkey of his own soon maybe that will help modivate him a little more.

Tues. was ok when Zayben go home from headstart (8:15-11:45am) he went right in and changed his pull-up and tried. He still isn't able to go when he tries but at least he is trying. By 3 pm when big brother DevĂ´n got home from kindergarden he was done trying when monkey wanted and hid monkey under his bed. I have hearing loss so wasn't able to find monkey until him husband got home from work about 8pm. It was soo cute Zayben was singing the potty song with monkey last night. He has hearing loss too so some of his words aren't the best but you can deffinetly make out the song. Zayben sang the song over and over while he was taking time on his little potty chair. If I could have recorded it and added it to this blog I would. I'm so glad every day that I have the best kids in the world.
