We're doin the potty dance!!

For the past 2 months we have been working with our 2 year old on potty training. Being we have two older kids we thought we would breeze through it like pros. Well that is not how it has been! This child has hated the potty since the day I brought it home. No go pee pee in potty has been repeated over and over from him. I had read online that a good way to potty train is to let the child run around the house with no diaper on. Well being we just got new carpet installed ( I know what was I thinking new carpet with a toddler!) I didn't want to try this way. Everyday had been a battle and I felt I tried everything. So Yesterday I knew we would be stuck at home all day due to the weather I thought I would give the no diaper route a try. I told him he would not be wearing a diaper and I told him that I would leave the bathroom door open so that if he need to go then he could go. He didn't get it right off the bat but he did know to go in there he just peed the whole way there so by the time he actually made it the potty there was no pee left lol. It got better as the day went on. Today has been interesting! I let him run around with no bottom again. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and he came running to me saying sorry mama, sorry mama so I asked him what he was sorry about he said I got a poop ball on the carpet! I quickly ran him to the potty where he finished his business and afterward asked if we could do the potty dance of course we can. We can potty dance all day long if it get him to go in the potty. A side note my daughter has now changed her mind about getting a puppy.
