Potty Training - Take 1

So, this weekend we attempted to Potty Train Trent since the rest of his class at Chrysalis is well on their way to being fully potty trained.

To make a long story short, it didn't go really well. In four hours on Saturday after starting, we had already gone through 6 pairs of underwear. Trent wants absolutely nothing to do at all with the big potty. He starts to scream and fight when we take him to the potty. Needless to say, we threw in the towel by Sunday evening.

I asked his teacher at Chrysalis, Ms. Sue this morning if he would attempt to use the potty at school and she said yes. He never goes peepee in the potty, but he will go up to it and take off his diaper and stand there, which we couldn't get him to do at all. So, then I emailed Ms. Ryann after I got to school and told her about our weekend. She said something similar. He will sit on the potty at Lamkin, but will not do anythng. Well, if nothing else atleast he is obedient at school even if he rebels at home. She said he is definitely not ready if he is fighting us about it at home. It shouldn't be a traumatic thing, which I had read that already.

We will try again over the Christmas break. If we have the same result then, maybe we can try again over Spring Break with better results.

Ms. Ryann asked me if we feed Trent his food because he wants them to at Lamkin. I said definitely NO we do not feed him his food. He has been fedding himself for over a year. He acts differently everywhere he goes these days I guess. I know we don't feed him and I know he feeds himself at Chrysalis too. Kids these days!!!

On the Cole-Front.....he is sleeping a little better with a formula bottle before bed with Rice cereal and being swaddled....last night only a couple of hours at a time...but we are definitely making progress I think. Love tis kid!! He is all smiles, all the time!!!
