Potty training

Aaron is the first kid I've potty trained using American methods. The others were trained around age two the African way... take off the diaper and spend a week at home following them constantly. We had no carpeting, no upholstered furniture and no where to go. It was perfect. That doesn't work so well here. It's not just the carpeting and couches, it's the interruptions too. We never have a whole week at home, especially in the summer. Aaron has been showing interest though, telling me when he needs to be changed. So we got the potty chair out and are talking about where the potty goes... He's got the idea, but is still looking for a way around it. Today, he tried putting the potty in the chair- after it was in the diaper. Sorry, Aaron, it just doesn't work that way!
