During the school closing and social distancing and having to be at home most of the time anyway, we decided to potty train our 2 year old.
It’s been a while coming, we almost tried a few months ago, and he’s been pretty consistently inconsistent about going anyway. So today the potty watch and real underpants came out. A friend is letting us borrow this potty watch, a watch shaped like a potty that sings a song and flashes lights at regular intervals to remind you it’s time to go. Of course Kellan was super excited about it for about 30 minutes. Then by the next round he insisted I wear it instead. So for the remainder of the day, every 30 minutes, the tiny toilet on my arm would remind me to heard him to the potty. We had 9 successful trips, 2 accidents, 1 toy in the potty, 3 unnecessary flushes, and lots and lots of patience.

9 successful trips versus 2 accidents is a pretty good ratio. Good use of your time!

I do not miss that. The frustration of the roller coaster ride that is potty training. It is really cool to see when it finally just clicks. It is like, "where has that been this whole time?" Then you're done. It'll happen!
