Toilet Training & Using Public Restrooms
Toilet training continues to go well with Dominic. The little guy was sick and miserable all last week, but he did not let it affect him and he only had a couple of accidents. He often goes over to the potty on his own, pulls down his pants and pee’s into the potty. This usually means he completely strips off his pants and underwear as he usually doesn’t like to pee with them on (they tend to restrict the movement of his feet), but he can do it all on his own now. We sometimes have to remind him, but he’s been doing well!
He is getting to be such a big boy!
It is one thing for him to go wee at home, but out in town is another story. Here, one of us has to take him into the bathroom and we are not too wild about completely stripping him down…but we do what we have to! He usually stands on the toilet seat and does his thing. Well, the other day I was at Target and we were looking at the Thomas trains (of course!) He started to wiggle a little bit and then he announced that he had to pee. So I put Dominic back into the cart (to move quicker) and then walked halfway around the store looking for the public restrooms. When I finally found them and went in, both stalls were occupied, so it was wait or use a urinal. I pull down his pants and underwear, but left them on and then I picked him up and let him stand on the lip of the urinal (they looked like they had been recently cleaned, thankfully Target has clean bathrooms!) He leaned forward and went pee without any problems, his first use of a urinal!
I was proud of him and so he was proud of his accomplishment.
Dominic has had one big failure out in town. Last weekend we took him to a toy store, the Toy Depot, which bills itself as “Totally Thomas” and they did have the largest selection of Thomas the Tank Engine toys and paraphernalia that I have seen outside of the Day out with Thomas toy store. They had Thomas puzzles, books, lunch boxes, party favors, and of course trains. Dominic was having so much fun with the two train tracks in the store that he pee’d his pants a couple of times. It was very trying for both DominicsMom and I, but we all survived…
Now some photos:
Jocelyn drinks from a cup! "Look, no hands ma!"
"I did that?!?"

Happy girl!
"I did that?!?"
"Yep, I did it!"
