Potty Training Boys

September 5, 2014 By Michelle 8 Comments

Potty Training.

It is something I have been DREADING since the arrival of the twins.

Mainly because potty training Megan was r-o-u-g-h.

And, the thought of having to potty train TWO  makes me all kinds of anxious.

The last several weeks however, they have been expressing interest in the potty. Not only have they been fascinated by the toilet itself, but they have started letting us know that they are actually going, which is another sign that our potty training days are upon us.

I quickly started to panic and have a full on ugly cry moment that my “babies” were growing into big boys,

But then something else dawned on me……

I have never potty trained BOYS before.

Whole. New. Ballgame.

That’s when I got smart and let Pull – Ups Big Kid Academy  come to my rescue.

The Big Kid Academy is an online tool that has a world-class library of potty training tips and advice from parenting experts, medical professionals and best of all, parents who have been there. They cover every topic you can think of, including….

• How to talk to day care providers about potty training
• Solutions for nighttime
• Potty training on the go
• The best clothing for potty training

The moment I enrolled the twins in the Big Kid Academy, I started scouring the site for helpful tips and tricks to get us started. First thing I checked out was the 10 signs Of Readiness, to see just how ready they really were. Just as I had suspected, they ticked all the boxes.

At one of our weekly Target runs, I grabbed some Jake Pull – Ups and decided to test the waters…..

Aside from the whole testing it out as a hat, they seemed pretty excited about wearing their big boy pants and sitting on the potty.

We didn’t have any success in the potty our first day, but we still got a little bag of  “nemy nems”  as a reward for being such big boys and we will just continue to keep at it.

This looks like the face of a boy who is ready to master this whole potty training business and thanks to the Big Kid Academy, mama is ready too!

Have a kiddo that is ready to potty train?

    I’m babysitting a 2 year old boy that I started potty training back in August he did so great an in a month was in regular undies but now after almost 4 months he has suddenly quit caring an just pees everywhere. He’ll still go on the potty when I put him on there which I do a lot to prevent this but he still will just go an pee somewhere. He even quit tellin me he had to go potty. I’m at a loss. His mom has even said he has quit getting up at night to go potty an has had to go back tobpull ups at night. An its not just peeing he’s pooping his pants as well. Any ideas or tips would be great.

    Just reading these comments makes me wonder if we are trying too hard to potty train simply because we’re tired of changing diapers. All three of my kids decided to use the potty at different ages, and we did encourage them, but didn’t really begin the push until they were nearing three.

    My son just turned 2, but everytime I go to use the bathroom he sits on his potty fully clothed. So I’m just going to take that as a sign that he is ready. Hopefully I’m right!!!

    I have a 7 month old baby, and I’m already thinking of how scary this task will be.. mainly cause so many friends and family members with kids have mentioned it’s not easy. Well nothing in life is but why can this baby come with an instruction mannuel or something?

    We started getting used to the potty at 18 months. We bought a potty seat and showed my son how it sat on the toliet and we let him sit on it while it was on the floor. The first couple of time that my son sat on it while it was on the potty he got a reward, but then we told him that he has to go pee on the potty like Mommy and Daddy. Now that he is two, we try to sit on the potty everynight and when he goes he gets a reward. We had a slight backwards slide when we moved in to our new house, but I expected it. I did buy him some big boy underwear to wear aroung the house, if he pees in them he knows what it feels like to be wet, as opposed to his diaper. We just take it day by day.

We have been spending endless time together and decided it was time to start a new family tradition, so we picked up the new DIY Sundae Kit from @baskinrobbins! The kit comes with 2 pre-packed quarts of ice cream, 3 toppings, an entire can of whipped cream and cherries! Ice
cream for dinner will now be a weekly staple. The kids are definitely not complaining! It’s a fun day with a Sundae!

Disney has been threaded throughout my entire life. I pulled a few of my most favorite memories over the years. From partying in the streets during the most epic dance party and meeting our most favorite princesses to me being a kid at Disney myself. Oh, I also had to add a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. She really is the most beautiful cast member of them all! 
@waltdisneyworld we miss you more and more each day. You’ve brought us joy beyond words and we cannot wait for the day when we get to walk down Main Street USA again!
