Juan Or's Potty Training

Mommy hadn't been doing much potty training on Juan Or because Juan Or spends a big part of the day with the babysitter. So it's the babysitter who has been doing most of the potty training on him. If Mommy is not mistaken, when Juan Or was around 9 or 10 months old, the babysitter told Mommy that he already instinctively knows how to pass motion when seated at the potty. The babysitter told Mommy that Juan Or's typical routine goes like this:

• drink 8 oz. of milk immediately when Juan Or is send to her house (morning)
• playtime (morning)
• nap (late morning)
• eat porridge or other solid food (afternoon)
• sit on the potty to pass motion (afternoon)
• take bath (afternoon)
• drink 8 oz. of milk (afternoon)
• playtime (afternoon)
• nap (afternoon)
• eat porridge or other solid food (mid-afternoon)
• playtime (mid-afternoon)
• nap (late afternoon)
• finish up whatever solid food left if any (late afternoon)
• playtime (late afternoon)
• drink 8 oz. of milk (late afternoon/early evening)
• playtime and wait for Mommy to pick Juan Or up

Then just about two weeks ago, the babysitter told Mommy that she's training Juan Or to do away with wearing the nappy during daytime. So she will just let Juan Or wear a pair of shorts without wearing nappy, and then periodically put Juan Or on the potty to urinate. And he did!

As for Mommy's side of potty training Juan Or, whenever Mommy wants to bath him, Mommy will put him on the potty first and then whistle. Mommy also puts Juan Or on the potty whenever Mommy changes his diaper. Sometimes he urinates, sometimes he doesn't, but most of the time he did. And Mommy also noticed that if Juan Or already starts to fret when sitting on the potty, that means he's done with it. And the result is usually there's urine in the potty! What about passing motion? There was only one occasion with Mommy when he passed motion into the potty. But at that time, Juan Or was constipating and Mommy only found a piece of 'small round dark brown marble' in the potty.

(Somehow Juan Or just hates to sit on the new type of potty which Mommy bought recently from the Hytex Warehouse Sale. This potty is more stable, yet he hates it!)
