Toilet Training: He Stood!

Our little darling gave us a huge surprise on Wednesday night!  As usual, he went to the toilet himself to pee and after I heard the music from his FP potty, I got up from my seat to help him with the cleaning up.  I was extremely surprised to see what he did to his potty - his urine was all over his potty chair and on the floor.  It meant that he had urinated while standing up.  Although it was a big mess, I was very happy that he had progressed to the next step in his toilet training.

I had earlier tried to teach him how to do this, but nothing came out as he stood at the toilet bowl.  And all of a sudden, Ian had decided to stand and urine.  We scratched our heads and wondered what changed him?

We have also started to put him on his training pants when we go over to my mom's place for dinner.  He wet his pants the first time we tried it, but it was probably because he did not detect his urge to go as he had a big quarrel with his cousin and was crying non-stop.  Over the last few days, Ian had managed to keep his pants dry until we returned home.  Once, he was able to tell us that he wanted to go to the toilet, and had stood to pee at his Por Por's house.

At home over the last couple of days, he had been peeing either standing up or sitting on his potty, depending on his mood.  If he decided to stand, he would use the adult potty and so far, he had not made a mess since his first success.  (Ian, thank you for not adding more mess for Daddy and Mummy to clean up!)

We hope that soon, we could put him on training pants during his afternoon naps too.
