It’s funny the things you do when you’re trying to house-train a puppy. Two otherwise reasonable, mature adults (okay, maybe that’s taking a little TOO far) start celebrating and making a huge deal over a little puppy that finally decides to pee on the pee-pad. I found myself wondering what we would look like to anyone who happened to be looking in the window right at that moment. But in that moment, for us, it was an outpouring of joy and relief. He’s at least starting to get the idea. Thanks for all the tips you guys left. Except for Dave.
Bathroom walls are complete, save for a few small strips that need to be added above and around the door and window. Next the concrete (or something like that) has to go on the floor, and THEN the plumbers can finally come and hook everything up. But we won’t have the tools we need for the floor stuff until Thursday, so it might be next week before the plumbers can come. Regardless, though, the end is finally in sight!
Sounds like us everytime Benjamin pees in the potty….which is, by the way, going great. He insists on standing up to pee and freaks out if you try to make him sit.
lol- imagine what you will one day do for the child you are trying to housetrain!!!! i would LOVE to be a fly on the wall!!
oh- and no PICTURE???? tsk, tsk, diana…
What?!? I said to use the Pee-pads too. :)
Jake needs to come up with a “Potty Dance” for him and Sam to do, or maybe a “Potty Song.” :) That’s what we used for Mikayla. Sarah, well, she went when she was ready. No amount of dance, song, bribe, etc. worked for her. Not even M&Ms. (Well, they work a little, but she got wise to it after a while.)
Great, hope sam is sleeping at night
love mom
Adults? You must be talking about your neighbors.
[re=1306]Mama[/re]: You must not have met our neighbors…
I think we should have a party the day your bathroom is complete. We will have everyone come over to your house and test out the toilet. We can do “potty” themed foods…lol
