So let's be real here I am not Potty training Ramsey yet. I know he is a boy and the average potty training age for them is 3-3.5 years old. So I am sort of hoping by the end of this summer we'll get it down??? Anyway, he does pee on the potty occasionally like if he wakes up and his diaper is dry I sit him on the potty and he pees. I look forward to potty training in lots of ways but dread it in a million ways more. He is a bright kid and I know he'll get it when the time is right but he is a boy and I am not sure he would care if he had pee run down his legs or if he had poop in his pants for hours. If it means stopping playing to potty, at this point forget it. I still have a good 6 months before I have to become a nut about the potty so sanity stay put, we're good for now.
This video was shot the other morning whenI was in the my bathroom putting on my makeup and Ramsey just comes strolling in and says "Mommy, I need to potty". Who am I to deny him so I stripped him down and sat him up there. He did not pee and instead I think thought he needed to poop. Hilarious. He says "help momma" because he wasn't sure about this poop in the potty thing or how it works. Oh, and he say's he is "farting" in that first part.
So as far as the potty stuff goes I think until it comes to crunch time I'll just follow his lead and try to make it a non-issue in the meantime.

how adorable is that boy! can't wait to get home and show this to the wild woman!!! i'm glad to know i'm not the only mom not pushing the potty training. priss is SO good about using the potty for rita all day but REFUSES to do it at home for me?! plus, she's not waking up dry yet, and i've hear that's a good indicator about when they're ready to be totally potty trained. we tried big girl panties right after christmas, but after i scrubbed the carpet four times in one morning, i went back to pull-ups. happy thursday friend! :)
I love that he said "he farted!" How hilarious! Caroline LOVES toilet paper too. Between Tater's puppy years and Caroline, I think I have been able to keep it on the actual roll for 2 out of the last 6years=) Good luck...
I was showing this to Justin last night and he swore he heard Ramsey actually fart. After listening to it again, we could tell that "the fart" was really Sage and/or Bentley snorting....so funny!
that is too funny. and i feel him on the help part. sometimes we do need a little help when going number 2:) and how sweet of you to videotape this experience. i'm sure i will do the same when it happens to my little one.
Waking up dry is a huge step! That is where I began w/ Kaden. Get ready to go through some serious toilet paper! Video is hilarious!
love this! Great idea about putting him on the potty if he is dry. I need to remember that. I look forward to hearing some tips when you really dive into potty training!
