Potty training is going to be a real challenge for sure. Today, we went through a period where he would run to the bathroom several times a minute (no exaggeration). He would sit down and do NOTHING..... except unroll the toilet paper that is!
I sat on the couch and tried reading with Carter. Ryder continued to sprint barefoot back and forth down the hall with no undies or pull-up (he wouldn't keep them on) and yell, "Mom!" It has never taken Carter so long to read 4 pages. He was majorly distracted. I think we may have to take some "potty training holidays."
I came up with a brilliant idea. I asked Ryder to help me set the kitchen timer and told him when the bell went off he could try to sit on the potty. I told him he had to keep on his pull-up until then.
1st 20 min was a success, but no pee pee.
He helped me set the timer again. "Yes, this idea may just work," I thought.
While waiting for the timer to go off a 2nd time, he walked down to the basement, took off his pull-up, and peed on the CARPET!
Ohhhhhh!!!! SIGH!!!!
Later, in Grammar, Ty had to read a sentence and find the verb, tell what kind of verb it was, and then tell whether there was a direct object, a predicate nominative, or a predicate adjective. This was the sentence - "God's children are patient and kind." Patient?! Really?! I must exercise patience? Another big, heavy SIGH!!!!
I guess we'll try again another day.
