Over the weekend I read an article that tells you how to toilet train your baby in 1 week. Sounds too good to be true, but some mothers swear it works.
I accept the challenge. I have been trying to get him to go for a long time, sometimes he will and sometimes he won't, but the biggest obstacle so far has been constantly remembering to take him to the bathroom. It's so much easier to put a diaper on him and change it once every hour and a half than it is to take him to the toilet every 15 minutes. But our NZ trip is coming up fast and I do NOT want to take lots of diapers with us.
So today we took him every 15-20 minutes. He wore a diaper to the playground, while napping, and while I cooked dinner, and then to bed. 4 diapers!!! I think he actually made shishi in the toilet twice.
And on the carpet 6 times.
But despite constant cleaning and asking if he needs to go, it was actually good for both of us. I kept all of my focus on him for the day (something I haven't been doing lately but needed to get back to) and he is starting to get into the routine of going. It worked pretty well and I'm excited.
We just may get it done in a week!
