Successful toilet training!















We are optimistic, but realistic! It will take some time to learn our boy how to urinate in the toilet and not around it. It seems as he is satisfied if he reach the toilet in time, and get his trousers down. From this it is just luck if he make success or not. Sometimes we are thinking that he don`t want it to happen in the right way. He wants to learn, but he also wants other methods than we suggest. He tries to learn about the toilet, how it looks like and how it works (see picture).

We try to:
- let him watch and learn of me
- let him practise
- motivate him with cool underwear
- celebrate triumphs
- have fun
- dump the diaper!

I will definitely not be more in this situation:

Your English is really not that bad. It's perfectly understandable and your spelling & vocabulary is just fine.

Keep writing English! I'll start doing the same, perhaps, though I find my Norwegian blog articles are somewhat better. The availability dilemma - the world or my home?

Herlig bilde og jeg er enig med Geir (Siden jeg blogger på engelsk tar jeg kommentarene på norsk)

Well, the picture is just an illustration of my boy...

Om meg

I grew up at Årsvoll, a farm close to Sandnes. Sandnes is a city at the west coast of Norway - not far from where the oil is(!). I married Vigdis in 1995. She is from Bjerkreim, a place up in the mountains... a wonderful place! We have two children and enjoy our life in our little house at Ålgård - not far from Sandnes.
