How to potty train your child?

When I first sat down to teach Jaxon how to use the potty I made a pee sound sssssssssssssssss to illustrate what I wanted.  He laughed and just watched but never peed.  I wish I could say my child was genius when it came to the potty.  Truth is he learns what he wants to and he is a boy so peeing on the floor is inevitable.  In fact I had a few accidents several years back and I am sure it's because I wasn't completely potty trained.  Although come to think of it, maybe it was the fact that I had had too much to drink.  Anyway, whatever the case is, potty training is a stage I can't wait to be out of.  

After 2 years and 8 days my son came to me on his own and said pee pee in the potty.  Now for 6 months I had been explaining to him that the potty is where one does pee pee.  I would say where does one pee pee?  He would say with conviction the potty.  However, the floor (and dad's leg once) would get victimized.  Then I would hold all my emotion in and say oh that's ok that you peed on the floor (and my leg) but where does one do pee pee?  And with arrogance he would say the potty.  So this morning he got up and said pee pee in the potty.  So I said and where does one do pee pee?  And with happiness he said the potty.  

So we ran to the potty, took off his cloths, and sat there.  2 seconds later he looked up at me and said ssssssssssssssssssssss.



Until tomorrow wet or dry.
