It started ...Streaking has worked for all my kids. It started with Marietta who would faithfully sit on the potty for ages, reading and entertaining herself but doing nothing in the potty. Pull up the underwear and let her run and not two minutes later she'd be wet. So we decided on streaking and that's how I did it with Rebecca and now Matthew and it's worked. <br /><br />As long as Matthew is streaking he has no accidents. He just goes to the potty, does his thing and comes to me for his reward. I don't have to do anything, don't have to remind him, nothing, he does it all on his own.<br /><br />Now ... put the underwear on and we're dealing with a different story. He can do it, he knows how to do it ... but he can also be lazy. If the potty is right there he will likely go to it, unless to engrossed in his playing. If the potty is too far away then it's unlikely he will. If he's outside ... not a chance. Bad time of year to be training when you have to dress him all up to send him outside ... course he's not gonna bother coming to pee. Thankfully we had a warm weekend which allowed him to go out without the extra clothing and even in just his underwear.<br /><br />Right now I'm in training as much as Matthew ... I need to remember to remind him to go, to get him and put him on the potty. Putting him on the potty is getting a bit easier, but at first there was no way he was going to that thing unless he thought he had to go.<br /><br />I prefer to let him just streak around and make it easy for me ... but we're on to week three and now there is no more streaking allowed ... it's time to learn to wear the underwear all the time. Getting a bit better with the pee thing ... not always so good with the other.<br /><br />Lots of fun!!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527813780077959729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490229162321991497.post-60807677207387660812010-04-03T15:03:55.212-04:002010-04-03T15:03:55.212-04:00Wow - way to get Steph & Matthew!
