Yesterday I hosted playgroup at my house. During playgroup 3 children disappeared, my innocent little Parker and his friends Weston and Lily. I wasn't worried because there isn't anything in my kitchen they could get to. Unfortunately someone knows how to open the fridge. I am not sure who opened the fridge, all I know is the fridge was opened and my kitchen was egged by 3 not so innocent children.

I mopped 3 times yesterday, but when I woke up today my kitchen smelt like eggs. I just put it in the back of my mind and moved on with the day, I will clean it later. I had decided today was the big day, the day when Parker goes from being a baby to being big boy and gets rid of the diaper. Here is how it worked.
At 10:00 am we start the process. We have a celebration both Parker and his peeing doll Scott get rid of their diapers and put on underwear. We then give Scott a drink, take him to the bathroom and he pees in the toilet, well done Scott.
Try #1 We go back to the kitchen give Parker a drink, on his second sip he pees his underwear. That is fine, I clean him up, get a new pair of underwear and go back to drinking.
Try #2 I should have thought this process through a little bit better (and went to the bathroom before we started), but I needed to go to the bathroom. I went and came back to find that Parker had peed and pooped in his underwear. Definitely not his fault, so I clean him up and we start again.
Try #3 I wanted Parker to see Scott potty in the toilet again so he understands the pee is supposed to go in the toilet, not down his leg. Parker starts giving Scott his drink, in the middle of the process he looks up and me and pees his underwear again.
Try #4 I am trying to stay positive, we do some practice runs. I take Parker to different parts of the house and tell him "ooh no, you have to go potty what do you do?" We run to the bathroom take off his underwear sit on the toilet and practice what he should do when he feels his urges. We practiced about 5 times, then went back to the kitchen for more to drink. While he is drinking his drink he pees again.
Try #5 Parker is all cleaned and drinking again. I start changing McKenzie's diaper while I am doing this Parker hit her as hard as he could 3 times on her face before I could stop him. Furious,(Parker is always so nice and has never done this before) I put him in time out. While I try to calm down McKenzie I hear "mom poo-poo, mom pee-pee." Sure enough he had peed all over in his bed.
We stopped the potty training process at 11:30 after he peed his bed. I am not ready. So now I am mopping again trying to make sure the urine smell is gone. Hopefully within the next few days I can get rid of the horrible egg urine smell. As I think about my day I think how smart Annamarie(my sister-in-law) is. Before trying to toilet train Parker I asked her if she had any toilet training advice and she told me "don't do it." You are a wise woman Annamarie.

Gee. Rough Day?
I am laughing really hard right now! That sounds like a very exciting morning. Maybe you can try again tomorrow?
I am dying laughing!!! I can't believe that all happened by 11:30! He peed so many times. You're a good and patient mom.
Good luck with the smell.
That is hilarious!!! Potty training can be challenging. Good luck!
I must have left playgroup before all the excitement happened. Wow, you have been doing a lot of cleaning.
If you ever get the guts to try again you should try to sit him on the potty and give him his drink while he sits there. Read, sing songs, or pop in a video and put the potty in front, anything to get him to sit on it for an extended period of time. Hopefully then you will be able to catch a pee in the potty and it will start to click. Haha, this is coming from someone who gave up on the potty training thing as well, so I'm not sure what my advice is worth!
LOL. It sounds like he got jealous at McKenzie for still getting to wear diapers. Sorry it was so frustrating! He'll get there someday!
THats seriously funny. What a good mom to keep on trying!
So who picked the name for the doll?
Scott, we named Parkers doll after you of course. The true story is the manufacturer named him Potty Scotty so we just call the doll Scott.
I'm with Annamarie, too. Not doing it seems so much easier. Thanks for sharing your adventures! I hope you're done with the mopping soon!
It was fun to hang out yesterday. Thanks for coming!
when I was fiveish I used to call my brother scotty potty and he got so mad one time he poked my eye with a curtain rod and I had to wear an eye patch....I need to give him that doll-haha. that is one crazy day- thanks for sharing it!
This is too funny!! I got a good laugh out of it. Why are kids so funny about going potty in the toilet? I hope it gets better for you!
Wow! You are a trooper. I gave up with Lily...and now she's actually doing better with the whole potty training thing. I just give her a choice of pull-ups or big girl panties. She makes the choice and we go from there. If you need a porta potty you can borrow ours! It's fun to sit on the potty in front of the tv!
