1. G still loathes his baby bjorn potty chairs. He refuses to sit on them, but he's more than happy to point and tell me what they're for . I've been trying to at least show him during every diaper change just to let him get used to the idea early.
   
   During his bath the other night, G pointed at the big potty and said "pee pee". Of course, I made a big deal about him telling me, so he repeated it for the rest of his bath. I got him out of the tub and was drying him off. He runs around naked for a few minutes while I get him ready for bed (dry him off, cover him in lotion, let the lotion soak in a little, diaper, pj's, etc...). I had just dried him off and grabbed the lotion when he decided to pee on the potty. I stood there with my jaw on the floor because I didn't know how to react to it. I didn't want to freak out and scare him. Once the shock wore off we clapped, and I cleaned up the lovely mess .
   
   Notes for next time: If he points at the potty and says "pee pee" again I'll believe him and stick him on it.      by KeelyKay
   
2. Hmm...potty stories? You'd think I'd have more of those.
   
   The very first time ds used the potty completely unassisted, he was wearing a t-shirt and underwear while I was making breakfast. He went into the bathroom, got the little potty off the back of the toilet, and set it on the floor. He straddled it, sat down, and peed - straight through his underwear into the potty! (He went bottomless the rest of the day after that incident, ha!)      by jana
   
3. My sister decided to take a week off work for a family trip to the sand dunes. Since she would be with her girls the whole week she figured it would be the prefect time to potty train my niece. Well she got her potty trained that week, camping at the dunes. The only problem showed up when they got back home: she didn't want anything to do with the bathroom. My sister let her girls go outside to play in the backyard, when she went to check on them she found my niece with her pants around her ankles peeing. For quite some time she wouldn't pee in the hosue but had no problem going outside.      by rdy2rac with
   
4. Working with Little man potty training has been interesting. Once I told him he couldn't be a big boy unless he went potty in the potty. He told me that he would going t be a big boy who went potty in a pull-up forever.
   
   We're still working on it. Hopefully he'll be trained so that he can start school in the fall. LOL      by rdy2rac with
   
5. A friend has a very smart precocious 4 year old that took a long time to seem ready to potty train. She knew already he was very literal but this is funny.
   
   She has this thing about when he pees in the bath he has to get out and she cleans the tub before she puts him back in. So when he was ready to train she told him he couldn't pee in the tub or he had to get out. So that was all it took, he would tell he he had to pee and she would take him out of the tub and put him on the potty, no problem. Then comes #2...
   
   One of the first days he had on big boy underwear he pooped in them. She told him you can't poop in your underwear!!! So she threw them away and went on with her day. The next day she walked into her bedroom and saw something on the carpet by her bed. She went over to look and it was poo!! She found him and told him you can't poop on mama's carpet!!! He said well I didn't poop in my underwear! The next day, in her room again there was something on the tile by her sliding glass door... POOP! She asked him what that was all about and he said " well you said I couldn't poop in my underwear or on the carpet!" She finally said you can only poop in the potty. ANd that was that, no accidents again!!      by queensara
   
6. I guess that will teach her to be specific!      by B'sgirl
   
7. AFter 2 times of Little man pooping in the bathtub, me removing him & scrubbing the tub. Now if he has to go he gets out & goes on the potty. If only I could keep him in the tub 24/7, he would be potty trained in no time.      by rdy2rac with
   
8. we have had plenty of interesting times with Brandon on the potty training.
   
   for the most part during the day, I am the one home with the kids. so if I go into the bathroom, I get a couple of followers in there with me. Brandon one day came in and was paying close attention to what I was doing. the next time he went on the potty (still sitting down) he told me that he needed some toilet paper. I gave him a little bit just to see what he was going to do with it. he proceeded to use the toilet paper to wipe himself.....I couldn't help but laugh to which he responded by laughing.
   
   later on that day, when daddy got home, we told him about the potty incident. to which Tommy responded by taking Brandon into the bathroom (with Logan following right behind them) to show him how daddy goes potty. Logan went and stood right next to the toilet as Tommy was going to the bathroom, and Logan looks and says "daddy pee pee" as he is about to touch it. And now any time they get the chance to be in the bath tub together, they try to cross their "streams" to make designs. It does prove to be an interesting bath tub.....especially if they use creativity!
   
   (hey, it is a lot better then cleaning it up off the floor or the carpet! so I will take them trying any way I can!)      by tommysgirl18
   
9. Andy is working on PT. We have our moments but they have fallen by the wayside with both MRSA infections, etc. Also, we found he LOVES to stand up to the big boy toilet and point and pee He got an Elmo stool for that, for XMAS.
   
   So anyhow, my mom is keeping him one weekend and knows the drill about the stool. She has a 2 step Train shaped stool (the top opens for storage). He says pee pee and she take him in there, pulls his diaper off and he climbs up the first step and pees - right on his feet! She started laughing and he looked very sternly at her and said "no-no" and then clapped! He wanted her to clap, not laugh.
   
   At this point, he pees in the toilet about 85% of the time when he says he needs to. Int he next month we are going to work on PT full time, right now its a casual thing, I don't want to push him too hard.      by pink_elephant
   
10. We're starting to potty train my son. He hates sitting on his current little potty! But, we keep trying(cause we can't buy another one right now) and last week, before getting in the shower I had him sit on his potty seat while I went pee. Well he sat there for a few minutes and then stand up and walked out of the bathroom then walked back in stood next to his potty for a second, took a step back, and peed right next to his potty! He purposefully peed next to, instead of IN the potty. Then he looks at me and says "Yea!!" and clapped. I was torn between laughing and gluing him to the potty chair. Of course when we told dad, he thought it was hilarious.      by jessilee82
    
11. Oh man them are some cute and funny stories.
    
    One day I was upstairs getting K's stuff ready to give K her bath and K was in her bedroom. I turned around to see what K was doing and she had pulled down her pull up and was peeing on daddy's p.j. pants. (the really funny part was I put the p.j. pants into the dirty clothes hamper and dh got them out and put them on, came down stairs and asked me why there was wet spots. )      by shan
    
12. Shan, that's priceless. I would have tormented DH about that for ages (if it's in the laundry hamper leave it there!)      by KeelyKay
    
13. When I was teaching kindergarten I had one little boy who seemed to have been potty in an unusual way. I caught him on the playground TWICE peeing on the pole of the jungle gym. His mother was mortified when I told her about it. She blamed his father.      by B'sgirl
    
14. Michelle, I wouldn't put that past my nephew...... they have totally taught him to pee anywhere and everywhere outside, and it's going to come around to haunt them, I'm guessing!!! He pees on tree, driveways, bushes, barns, etc. Hmm. I think I will stick to teaching my son to pee in the potty, not outside unless we are camping or something is necessary in that manner! I
    
    I wish I had some stories, but we aren't there yet!! I'm enjoying reading these though!!
    
    Shan, my DH grabs stuff out of the dirty hamper all the time. I don't get men! I would not want to wear dirty, wrinkly clothes. Let alone w/ my child's pee on them. Ha!!! Maybe that will break that habit for your dh!!      by IUgrad02
    
15. LMAO, Shan! Serves him right!
    
    I am amazed at the number of funny stories here. Personally, I have NONE. Potty training was not at all funny to me; it stressed me out so much, and I'm not looking forward to doing it again.
    
    Anyway, we have a seat that looks just like that (except ours is also white). I just wanted to say that it's great. It was easy to put on and is easy to clean.      by Margarita
    
16. Yeah, I am going to be teasing dh for a long time over that one. I have told him before not to pull dirty clothes out of the hamper, but he doesn't learn. It is a nice story I get to tell K when she grows up. I laugh just thinking about how she danced out of her pull up just so she could pee on daddys pants.      by shan
