Golden Pig Tales

There has been no fuss to change diapers for there have been no diapers. All poops and pees have been on the potty. The only time we needed diapers was when we were stuck in traffic, and Ezra needed to pee. All we had was the portable toilet seat that is Ezra’s size to fit over adult toilets and diapers, so -v- pulled off to the side of the road; made a toilet with the portable seat and diapers, and Ezra peed on the improvised toilet.

He peed in the potty this morning, at pre-school and at his gym. I feel we are making progress with the peeing in potty. The poop in potty may take some time for he cares having poop in pants less than he cares stopping playing to poop in the potty.

I feel I am the one being trained. I feel (as does -v-) that we are doing everything wrong. I feel that he will forever be pooping in his underwear and not caring. Because he doesn’t seem to care about pooping and peeing in his underwear, and he feels to care only that we change his pants and underwear and clean his bum after he poops, which he hates more often than not.

We don’t feel it is an accident when he has pooped or peed in his underwear, but rather his preferred way of pooping and peeing. Not that I blame him, and I can understand because that’s how he has always done it. I only wish he’d understand that he would need to change his underwear and pants and wipe is bum much less if he pooped and/or peed in the toilet. But he is only two and a half, so I realize my wishes can wait.

We have two potties. We have two to go near the two adult toilets. We even have a seat Ezra’s size that would fit around the adult toilet seats. One of the toilets he has decorated with stickers, but for some reason he hates it and the other potty and the potty seat. Or he hates something about the toilets like the bathrooms, the placement, the type. Well, the type of toilet could be an issue because he will pee and poop in the toilets that are at preschool school partly we suspect because the preschool toilets flush. And it could be likely that watching other kids at preschool help him feel more comfortable.

I don’t know. We don’t know. We are confused. I just hope Ezra doesn’t enjoy to poop or pee in pants more than sitting on the potty for the rest of his life because of some psychological manifest we create.

Ezra will now tell us when he just went pee in his diaper. He will talk to us really slow while he is pooping, and he will tell us he is pooping when we ask. And he has a new potty he got for Christmas that he has decorated with stickers, and he has sat on once, but still hasn’t pooped or peed in the potty. There is also the fact he will poop and pee in the potty at Preschool, but never at home because we suspect the potty at Preschool is his size and flushes. So…Maybe Ezra will be peeing and pooping in the potty at home some time during 2010?
