Fully Clothed

I've decided that now may not yet be the time to try the naked strategy for potty training.  It really gets me that he peed on the blanket yesterday.  When I looked back to him, he was actually holding himself.  This tells me that he knew he needed to pee and opted for the blanket rather than the potty.  Not cool.  
Besides, naked toddler means no clothes.  And that means I don't get to enjoy the cute toddler clothes.  And Caleb loves to pick out his shirt every morning.  This has become a fun part of the routine for him.
Maybe we'll try again in a few weeks...

    I totally feel your pain! Three times over. Johnathon was so afraid of the potty we had to put cookies in it just to get him close to it. Mattie was a natural. Noah, well, he was advanced. He skipped the toddler potty and went right for the grown up potty. His problem was he would not poop in the potty. He literaly constipated himself to avoid it. It went so far as having to give him a baby enema. Once the medicine forced him to poop it was smooth sailing. All three continued to have their lazy accidents. Hang in there. Once he gets the hang of it, it will be worth the trouble.
