So I went out and bought a little potty for Jake last week. No pressure, no solid plans, just put the potty in our bathroom, make sure he knows what it's there for, and get him comfortable with the idea of potty training. He seemed interested the night I introduced it to him, but it turned out all he wanted to do was flip the lid open and closed over and over. He was also interested in putting toilet paper in it. I put about a cup of water in the basin (to make eventual clean-up easier) and he keeps sticking his fingers in the water and splashing around. Even grosser, he wets his fingers then puts them in his mouth and says "Mmmmmm!". I've tried to stop him every time, but the bugger is quick! This isn't going as I had imagined....
When he was standing up, I asked him if he wanted to pee-pee in the potty. He promptly got into the man pee-stance: Back arched, hips thrust forward, hands on his willy. He produced nothing, which was probably for the best - he would have just sprayed the walls anyway.
So he finally sat on it last night (he had refused up until this point) and all he wanted to do was push his little pee-pee into the squishy foam seat and pull it back out. Great. So now I have a little guy that will only sit on the toilet for the purpose of playing with his willy. Guess we'll be in diapers for a little while longer.
