He did it. I really don't think I did very much, but Xac has figured out how to use the toilet. Our only challenge now is that he is very nervous about messes. I have taught him too well, perhaps, that poop is yucky and we should not touch it. Which is true, but you still have to wipe, unless you have a bidet that you can carry around with you everywhere... So what we save in diapers we are almost making up for in toilet paper, but I think it is worth it. Don't you?

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRAYYYYYYY! That is just awesome! I feel like in the end, it's all them and not me anyway. And it sounds like he's actually wiping himself, which I have discovered is not the norm for some kids. I'm still grossed out if I'm watching a "potty trained" kid and they yell from the toilet that they need me to wipe them - why did we switch from diapers then? anyway, I digress. Congrats, what an awesome accomplishment for Xac!
Yeah, I am definitely not letting that slide. I know it makes me uncomfortable to wipe other people's kids. There's always that small chance that someone will think I am touching a child inappropriately. I know that 99% of the time people will understand it is strictly a sanitary thing, but in today's society I still try to avoid that risk. It's a good excuse to make the parent do it. ;)
Hooray Xac! Way to go! I hate wiping poop! Did you know that there are wet wipes that are flushable? They are much better than tp!
Yes, thanks! Even with those Xac is still insisting that I wipe for him, and as my parenting strategy is changing daily, sometimes I find I am letting it slide, but others he does it for himself. We'll get him there though. ;) Thanks for the suggestion!
Hooray! Bum wiping duty goes much too long. Sometimes Tuck wants to do it himself, but he just does not do a great job. I LOVE flushable wipes though, they just work better for cleaning messes, I use them myself sometimes (TMI? lol). And I too, get very nervous wiping a child's bottom that does not belong to me (the bottom or the child ha ha!)
Way to go Xac! Potty training is such a long process. We are still dealing with certain aspects in our youngest girl. It is different for everyone.
