The Daddy showed Little E how to wee wee standing up yesterday.  We have been encouraging Little E to wee wee on his potty for some weeks.  Little E always seems very enthusiastic, runs and mounts his potty as though it were a horse, sits down for no more than 2 seconds and then runs off to wee wee on the floor.

 

Little E's reaction to the Daddy wee wee standing up demonstration was "wa-owww!!!" followed by lots of laughing.

 

This gave us some hope that Little E now understood what he should be doing and would enjoy sitting on his potty to wee wee.

 

The next night, in the bathroom.  Little E was ready to get out of the bath. 

 

The Mummy ... "Little E would you like to get out of the bath and do a wee wee on your potty?"

 

Little E, climbing out of the bath with great effort ... "Yeh. Yeh. Wee wee"

 

The Mummy helped Little E out of the bath.

Little E ran over to the Potty, mounted it, sat for 2 seconds.  Stood up, moved less than one foot.  Grabbed his willy saying "wee wee" and wee'd on the floor!

 

Little E seemed so pleased with himself, he tried to do more wee wee.  By the time his bladder was empty the Mummy had 2 puddles to clean up, and Little E was quickly dunked in the bath with the Daddy for a final once over.

 

The Daddy ... "Little E did you do a wee wee on the floor?"

Little E ... "Yes, dhat" (Pointing to the puddles, very proud of himself)

The Daddy ... "Very good, however try in the potty next time"

Little E ... "Yes, wee wee dhat"

 

In order to prevent too many more puddles on the floor I suggested that the Daddy should do another demonstration of wee wee, only this time wee wee into the potty.  The Daddy was not too impressed with this, saying it would be too weird.  I think he may be right!
