Potty Training

I started potty training with Isaac a couple weeks ago. So far, it's hit and miss. Sometimes he tells me he has to go, but most of the time he doesn't. I started getting a little more serious about it this week. I've tried to be more consistent about the times that I take him, and I've also started using a potty chart. Each time he uses the potty, we add a sticker to the chart. He really likes that, especially the part where he gets to pick out which sticker to use.

Isaac isn't doing as well with it at preschool though. He's been more resistant and sometimes even cried when they've tried to put him on the toilet. They say it's normal for kids to take longer to get used to going at school, because they're more comfortable at home. I told them I'm not in any rush, so they can take a break from it if it's making him that upset.

Isaac can count to ten now, without any help. He's also identifying his colors more consistently too. He can recognize red, green, blue, yellow, orange, and purple. He's also saying please without prompting now, and he'll say yes ma'am when I remind him. I'm glad he's learning good manners this early. My hope is that it'll just be a natural part of his speech, since we've taught him this young.

School is still keeping me extremely busy. After next week, we have fall break. I can't wait!
