Did I ever mention that Pookie has done most of his potty-training using this:
Its called the Peter Potty and you can get it at Leaps and Bounds for $40. Ours was a gift from Uncle Ben. We thought it was funny at the time, but now, its a big part of Pookie’s potty training. He does much better standing up than sitting down. And the portability of this thing is great. We used to haul it from room to room, so it was right there when he needed it. Now we use it in the basement, which does not have its own regular toilet. We have caught him trying to sit in it, but we tell him to go find the “pooping potty” when that happens.
I don’t know why it worked….or how Uncle Ben ever heard about it, since he has no kids. But I am grateful that Pookie took to it so well. Maybe the act of standing up makes more sense in his head and he feels more in control of the act. Maybe he likes the speed of stand-peeing, rather than sit-peeing. Maybe he likes that Geetle can’t use it. I really do not know. I also do not know if it would work for every boy, but it sure did for Pookie.
