Hmm it looks like it would help with training him how to pee but then you'd have to REtrain him how to sit down to go #2 anyway... I love the idea of being able to keep the mess to a minimum but I'm not sold on this Peter Potty :)
You know, I have seriously been threatening to put in a real Urinal, since none of the three guys(husband included) in my house seem to know how to operate a regular toilet! Boy would they crap, if they saw one of those in the bathroom!:eek: :D
LOL, critter crazy!!!
Sirrahsim .... I've never had any little boys to potty train, so I'm sure you do have a point there! :p
we're just in the beginning stages of potty training so I could be completely wrong. Right now we are at the point where he will tell me that he needs to go and go sit on his potty but will NOT let me take his clothes off when he does so :rolleyes: :p :D He'll sit on his potty fully clothed and fill his diaper but if I try to put him on the potty without his diaper on he freaks out :p :D

My son had no interest in potty training when I thought he should be developing some. It was a constant struggle. One thing he did find amusing, though, was the "target practice" game. Get a tupperware container with some cheerios or fruit loops in it, and put it on the back of the toilet. When it's time to go potty, let him put a few in the toilet then see if he can hit the targets. :D
After months of begging, pleading, arguing and frustration I finally said, "Ok, fine. Wear a diaper. I give up." He stared at me completely baffled. A few days later I see him coming downstairs from his room with a pair of underwear in his hand. I ask what he's doing. He's says, "Going in the toilet, putting on my big-boy underwear, and throwing away my diaper." I thought to myself, Suuuure, and just kept reading my book. Sure enough, he did exactly what he said, and never had another accident. I think, in retrospect, that he didn't like diapers, but like the constant attention he got with the potty-training battle. I removed the attention, and he decided it wasn't worth it.
I'm not sure about the Peter Potty, either. Seems it would be confusing for a child to learn with this at home, and have to use real toilets away from home.
Ha ha ha ha ha! I am so sorry for laughing, but I couldnt keep Clothes on MY boys!!! That is just so funny!!:DQuote:
