So I posted a few days ago about being in potty training hell…it still is very much hell but we have had a few success. Day 1 a few drops and day 2 he did two little pees on his potty. Big celebrations for him and a cake pop he was so proud. He can be stubborn but he is definitely ready and capable. I know this can and will take awhile but we have till August for preschool to be potty trained. Here’s my new dilemma I’m stuck on..

I’ve noticed he can hold his pee for quite a long time. It’s great in theory however today he held it the entire time from waking up to his nap. He went sometime during his nap in his pull up. 🫠 He sat on the potty a few times during the hours between wake up and nap time but didn’t go. I gave him multiple beverages but still nothing! He held it longer than I could! I’ve been watching him like a hawk and no accidents either! I’ll link my previous post but I’m just not sure what to do besides wait him out

My son is over 2.5yrs old. He will be 3 end of August. He has to be potty trained by August for preschool. I feel like I have tried everything I could think of to get him to go pee on the potty (bribes, candy, toys, playgrounds, example from dad and I, constantly talking about it and keeping it positive and encouraging). He shows signs of readiness but it’s just so stubborn that if it’s not his idea he won’t go. I think he loves diapers?

Today, Monday May 4 we started hard core potty training when we woke up. I’ve been prepping him all weekends saying Monday diapers/pull ups go bye bye and we will only go pee in the potty. Even got a potty watch. He woke up and held his pee for 2 hrs and when I went to go put his baby sister down for a nap he peed on the floor and also pooped on the floor! When I came down I found the mess and he was sitting on his little potty. I reassured him it’s okay accidents happen but when we feel we need to go pee or poop we sit on the potty. He didn’t pee again before his nap. After his nap he was so mad I took his pull-up off. I ignored his meltdown and just told him no more pull-ups during the day. I already want to throw the towel in though. Anytime the watch goes off I tell him time to sit on the potty he screams no at me. Like what do I do? I need all the advice.

Edit to add: he has peed twice on his little potty the past month but then would always refuse after to keep going so I know he can do it.
