Potty Training Wyatt - Second Attempt

A few weeks ago, Wyatt had his first attempt at going "cold turkey" from diapers.  He woke up, told us he's never wearing diapers again, and wanted his Buzz Lightyear underwear.  Since Staci did this as a small child, and never went back, we thought we'd encourage him and see what happens.  Well what happened was I took him to the potty about 11 times over the course of the morning while we were at Aldi, PetSmart, and the Y to watch Zach's swim class.  Then, a mere 2 minutes after the last potty attempt, I look over and see Wyatt playing in a puddle of water.  After 3-4 seconds, it occurs to me that we are 30 feet above the pool and there should not be a puddle of water there....Wyatt had finally relieved himself.  Sigh.  Luckily, I was ready for this, and he "cowboy walked" his way to the locker room with me and got changed into a diaper.  After that he tried a few times to do pull-ups only.  Still to no avail.  He has yet to produce anything in the potty.

Today was the second attempt.  He again said "no more diapers, only underwear", and again, we decided to try.  Here he is, proud of his underwear, and strangely, my headband which he likes to use as "goggles" while he swims on the floor.

The result of the 2nd attempt:  15 minutes later, a puddle on the dining room floor.  This failed attempt has led to the proclaimation "no more attempts at no diaper until something has been produced in the potty".  Sigh.  We'll get there.  He has the desire, but no clue yet what his body is doing.  He will often tell us, after us asking if he has #2 in his diaper "no, it's just gas".  One day!
