Holy smokes! No matter how well I position Sidekick on his potty, he always manages to pee OVER the splash guard even when I think for sure that won't happen. Seriously, who thought that a one-two inch splash guard is tall enough? I need it to be about six-eight inches tall! I know he needs to push "it" down, but he is so young that he doesn't really understand that concept, and when he starts to pee, and I try to push "it" down, the mess has already begun! This morning, his pee hit the toilet about six inches away and then made a puddle on the floor around his potty. What a mess!
I have to figure out a way to make it less messy. I might as well remove the throw rug in the bathroom and line the walls and floor with plastic. Haha! Aside from that, does anyone have suggestions so that I don't have to constantly clean up after him? Will it get easier when he learns to push "it" down? The joys of raising boys.
I just taught Finn to hold it down when he peed - he caught on pretty quickly. "Hold your wee-wee down so you don't get pee all over everywhere." Surprisingly that worked! (most of the time!)
ReplyDeleteI think we are a very long way from the whole potty training concept (his morning diaper is the wet-est one of the day!). On of my friends once told me that she didn't bother with a potty seat, but rather position her son backwards on a normal toilet seat. She said it worked perfectly that way. I have not given this a try, but thought I would put it out there. Good luck, and please post any suggestions you have on how to at least get to the point you are currently at.
