Nolan has been on and off with potty training for what seems like forever. Never terribly consistent, which was probably why nothing actually happened for a long long time. Until my friend sent me a potty chart which she used for her little boy that really helped. I put it to work and bingo! Honestly it actually whipped me more in shape for the potty training ordeal, making me put him on the toilet on a regular schedule, instead of just forgetting. But it also gave Nolan something exciting to do every time he did well, or just for trying. He finally peed on the toilet the second day of starting with the chart! After that, due to the holidays things got a little sporadic and so did the results on the toilet. We took a bit of a hiatus for a few weeks and then tried again. Then, Thursday he finally actually pooped on the toilet! That was the next big hurtle and for a long time it didn’t look like anything that was going to happen any time soon. But thanks to a bit of persistance and knowing he’d get a ‘mater‘ out of it, it finally happened!
