Link Wheel: Part 2 – Potty Training (continued)

I have decided today that I am not going use eHow as part of my link wheel.  After reading on their forums it looks like many people were having the same problem I was having.  I really don’t want to wait weeks for my article to get published so I moved it to Squidoo.

Fresh off the press Potty Training Using Positive Reinforcement.  This now completes my Potty Training Link Wheel.

Here is the complete wheel with the lens Potty Training a Little Boy as the hub.  BrandyT on Squidoo (Blog) –> Potty Training Using Positive Reinforcement (Squidoo) –> Potty Training Charts (knol.google) –> The Potty Dance (Weebly Website) –> Potty Training Signs (Zimbio Article) –> Potty Training Boys (HubPages) –> BrandyT on Squidoo (Blog)

Link Wheel: Part 1 Potty Training a Little Boy

I am very new to making a link wheel and also to other sites other than Squidoo.  I am learning, but right now I seem to be pressing more into my head than I am use to.  I am writing down lots of notes and trying to keep up with each site I join along with all the user names and passwords that go along with them.

For my first link wheel I thought I would use my Squidoo Lens Potty Training a Little Boy as my hub.  Then for the wheel part I have a HubPage –> Blog –> eHow –> Knol Article –> Weebly Website –> Zimbio Article –> HubPage.

It is almost all linked together.  I just had one problem with eHow.  For some reason my article will not post there.  I haven’t figured out why just yet.  I’m working on it though.  As soon as it is published my first link wheel will be complete.

Already my lensrank for Potty Training a Little Boy has doubled.  It started out with a lensrank in the 80,000’s and now it is in the 40,000’s.  When I googled Potty Training a Little Boy it came up #19.  Then when googling “potty training a little boy” it was #3.

Potty Training

This past Saturday I decided to start potty training my 19 month old son. I probably would have waited just a little longer but he told me he had to potty and then did it. This is very exciting! If I can get him potty trained then I won’t have to buy any more diapers. YAY!

So that night I pulled out his Peter Potty and put it together. (If you don’t know what a Peter Potty is, it’s like a training potty but it’s a urinal.) I spent the whole next day trying to potty train my son. I had heard a tip from someone that when a child is potty training you should take them to the potty every 30 min. So that’s what I did.

Nothing happened. He did not use the potty 1 time. But he did get very familiar with the potty. When ever we went in there all he wanted to do was play with this new toy. There is a tank that sits on top of the Peter Potty filled with water. When you press the button water comes down to rinse the potty out. That’s all my son wanted to do. Make the water come.

The next day I had to go to work and my son stayed with my husband’s grandmother. She said she would continue the potty training. When I got back to her that evening we had a very good report. He had told her he needed to potty twice and used the potty both times. But he never wet in the potty. He kept wetting in his training pants.

So Day 3 of potty training and my son can recognize when he needs to go #2 just having some trouble with #1.

I’ll keep this blog updated with our potty training progress. Maybe I can throw in some tips on what we are doing to potty train. I know every child is different and they say boys are harder to train than girls. Hopefully my son will be just as easy as my daughter was.
