He kept asking for a diaper during the process... guess he's having trouble letting go of what has worked for him. It took some handholding but he did it! He also peed 4x tonight and our daycare teachers said he peed all day too. He did have a pee accident this morning though...</p> <p>I told him he's the prince of the potty, and he said, "yes I are!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-188494 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:20:27 +0000 Arden 188494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay Charlie!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-188428 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:01:31 +0000 chopsuey 188428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-188417 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:47:06 +0000 Rubies 188417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: When LO is pooping, she stops what she's doing, stares straight ahead and puuuuuushes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-188213 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:28:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 188213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: hehe I know.

He has pooped in his diaper while playing. I can tell because he stops what he's doing and stands perfectly still and strains. Sometimes he even maintains eye contact with me the entire time. Then I ask him if he's pooped, and he says NO!

We still haven't gone full throttle on potty training yet. I think we're going to wait until the new baby is here and she's had time to adjust to that change. LO has pooped on the potty once, and after she did it, she looked up and said, "It worked!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-188015 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:08:53 +0000 Honeybee 188015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go, Charlie!</p> <p>I've heard that boys are harder to poop train than to pee train. It has something to do with the different sensations of pooping versus peeing, whereas girls don't often have that issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-188013 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:07:41 +0000 littlebug 188013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way to go, Charlie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-187956 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 11:23:21 +0000 SAHM0811 187956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: @Mrs. Bee: I find I interesting that kids sometimes go off on their own and hide to poop too! I once heard it's natural to be embarrassed/shy about it. </p> <p>I also heard though that sometimes we as parents can make this worse in some cases, even from the very start, since we tend to make "eww" comments or hold our noses and make bad faces when changing babies' diapers! I thought it was an interesting concept so we try not to make a deal over poop with DD #2.</p> <p>Great job potty training Charlie guys! It's so exciting, I know!!! High five, Charlie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-187709 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 08:48:37 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 187709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is AWESOME NEWS!!!!!! We actually purchase Car/Toy Story undies for Mavrick yesterday and his interest for the potty has increased.</p> <p>We checked with the daycare, and the other boy (2 months older than Mavrick) has started potty training too... so i think our daycare is on the go with potty training. </p> <p>I think we will go full force by the end of the week. The though of having potty trained makes me all giddy. I hope he's as good as Charlie even though he doesn't really "communicate" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-187706 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 08:44:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 187706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: it's very common for kids to hide when they poop. maybe they need the privacy to push! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-187700 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 08:33:58 +0000 Rubies 187700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! Good for him! If he genuinely prefers to pee in the potty, maybe it's because pee in the diaper feels wet or cold (at least, that's how I would feel!). </p> <p>"...he's snuck off someone and gone in his diaper" - my friend's son used to hide behind the couch when he had to poo. I really wonder why the need to hide? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-187640 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 07:00:52 +0000 heffalump 187640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay Charlie, way to poo in the potty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-187612 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 05:42:19 +0000 Andrea 187612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, it's your website so you can talk about poop all you want, Mr. Bee! </p> <p>DD was also totally freaked out the first time she pooped on the potty and I had to hold her hand through it, too. I guess it is a really different sensation for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorry-coco-bee-but-charlie-pooped-in-the-potty-tonight#post-187611 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 05:41:57 +0000 yin 187611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good job Charlie!!

Every time he has to poop, he's snuck off someone and gone in his diaper.</p> <p>Well tonight I was putting him down to sleep and he said that his stomach hurt. He hadn't gone since last night, so I thought he might be hinting that he wanted to use the potty. I asked him point blank though a few times, but he said he just wanted to pee in the potty. He's been much better at communicating when he needs to pee versus when he needs to poop.</p> <p>Well eventually I guess the stomach pains got worse, and he finally said he was ready to poop in the potty. So I ran and got the portable potty and brought it into his bedroom, and sure enough he was able to go! Halfway through using it, he panicked and said that he wanted to put his diaper back on and poop in his diaper. I guess he's just used to going standing up? But I held his hand and he fought through it, and he was able to go in his potty.</p> <p>I told him he got an "A+" and that he was a big boy now and that he was Prince of the Potty! (That's a book we've been reading every night for the last few weeks, to prepare him.) He was so happy! He passed out happily shortly afterward...</p> <p>One interesting note about potty training: when we're putting him down to sleep, he now greatly prefers to pee in his potty over peeing in his overnight diaper. When he was going to sleep tonight, he asked a few times to take off his diaper so that he could pee in the potty. We accommodated him, but I hope he doesn't start asking to pee as a way to extend the bedtime ritual. We'll see how that goes, but would love any advice from you guys on how you managed that part of the potty training process.</p> <p>Thanks to everyone for your support during Charlie's potty training! He's had a few accidents, but overall it's been an exciting process. And wow, I can't believe that he might be potty trained soon! </p>
