I took Evan on the road today to test out his potty-trainin' skills. Of course, I took the potty in the car. As backup. What mother doesn't need backup???
We drove to the city, an hour and a half away, which is something with an almost-3 yr old in the car. He did well. No accidents; no messes. He announced in Bulk Barn that he needed to pee, so instead of looking for or inquiring about (dubious at best) restroom services, I hustled him out to the car and had him pee on the potty set up in the backseat. As much an adventure for me as for him, I assure you. He was very pleased, but at the same time nonchalant, about his ability to hold it and then release it at the right time. His attitude said: cool... whatever. Could he possibly be channelling his future teen self? Good lord, I hope not!
So then the challenge continued for me... what do I do with a potty full of pee in the middle of the city? Like any good citizen, I drove around the back of the store and looked for a convenient deserted snowbank. Problem solved.

That is great for you... he's really catching on fast. Hope it is still going well this week :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! while pouring the pee onto the snow, where you sure to remind him that this is why you do not eat yellow snow?
ReplyDeleteI am just picturing you as you park the vehicle, looking all around to ensure your all alone, getting out of the vehicle, taking the little cup out of the potty and very inconspicuously pouring it out then ever so quickly jumping back in and squealing out of the parking lot.
Good luck on the potty training!
