Help Me!

Seriously, I think I need a class. A class that will help me contain the mess, and will help me prevent future messes. I am having serious problems with the potty chair and Pax's wild pee. It's everywhere, people. And I am not OK with this. I may have to cancel potty training.

In my defense, this is my first experience with this type of thing. I have no brothers, and I wasn't around when my sister potty trained her boy. My Aunt's son pretty much potty trained himself, so no schooling happened there either. Yes, I am getting pointers from Scott, but they are not working.

We sit on the potty chair, which has a splash guard in place, tuck all important parts, and then....we get messy. Even if it isn't coming up over the top of the splash guard, somehow, it is still not making it into the bowl, and is collecting on the floor under the potty chair.

I told Scott tonight that I thought we should just get rid of the chair and let Pax just go in the same spot on the floor. At least I would expect that I would have a mess to clean up, unlike actually sitting on a chair that is supposed to keep that kind of stuff off of the floor.

I think I whole-heartedly agree with Laney when she said that she was so glad she didn't have to worry about tucking or aiming anything. You see, hers is so short it just fits right into the potty....I never thought of it that way.

Tomorrow, I am skipping the potty chair and trying for the "big people potty", as the little people in our home like to call it. Oh yea, and I might be installing a paper towel dispenser upstairs next to the toilet paper.
