Potty Training

[@TaylorMae1985]

Don't apologize for recording Lincoln so much! I can't help it out of all the KZbin babies I watch he's absolutely the cutest most adorable lil munchkin ever! My favorite KZbin baby 😉

[@beccaschwecke6542]

"Sorry Bon. Have fun with your eyebrows" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@SayWhatSarah2]

Haha!

[@reyesreyes1]

lol best part!

[@emiliz2071]

Becca Schwecke when she said she was going to get her eyebrows done subtitles said "I'm getting my eyebrows microwaved" lol

[@SayWhatSarah2]

Emily Neumen lololol!

[@naomihogg3637]

Stupid person

[@joyce52]

Joel, never apologize for showing Lincoln so much on the videos. I just love that little guy and he is so darned cute and funny. Love those boots. He is at that age where everything he does is cute, no matter what.

[@Unofkystudent]

Not just to Bonnie, but to all parents out there, please remember that TRUE bedwetting isn't a habit. If a child is waking and wetting out of laziness that's one thing and a chart might work... if a child is wetting the bed during sleep there's absolutely no charts, gifts, or other prizes that can make them stop. If he's going days in between that's a good indication that his body is developing the ability to stay dry and hold it and he may very well stop naturally very soon, but if he's having accidents in between he's just not there yet. I've known children who didn't stop wetting the bed sporadically until they were 7 or 8, others were in their teens. Giving a little prize every time he reaches 10 days (not consecutive, just 10 days period, a sticker each dry day) is okay and aim for a big prize when he stays dry completely, but it seems sad to start over with nothing each time he wets. He may not make that 14 day goal for months, or even years. I'm a big fan of consequences and rewards for actions, but consequences and rewards are for behaviors a child has the ability to control.

[@madyt6544]

KentuckyChickRK in their teens?? If teens are wetting the bed that's definitely a problem....

[@Unofkystudent]

Yes Mady. If you studied human development you would know that there are individuals who struggle with bedwetting into their teens and even into adulthood. Of course it's a problem at that age, but it does happen and when it does beyond the age of 6 or 7 children should definitely see a doctor. There are individuals who have bladders that are smaller than normal, some who experience incontinence and others who simply sleep too deeply to wake at the urge. The point is, bedwetting at Boston's age is perfectly normal and if it is true wetting (if he is asleep when it's happening), then until his body develops the ability to wake up to go, no amount of rewards or consequences will make it stop.

[@madyt6544]

KentuckyChickRK yes Kentucky chick thanks for the explanation.

[@85michellemybelle]

Poor guy!! Some kids just wet the bed and can't help it. You're still a very big boy, Boston!! Love y'all! From Georgia! 💙❤️⚾️ Go Braves!

85michellemybelle yes!! Love seeing a fellow Georgian. I was just at the braves game last night & i'm going tomorrow!

[@85michellemybelle]

Megan C awesome!! We are about two hours north of Atlanta but we love our braves! I noticed Joel wears Braves gear sometimes so I always leave a braves comment of hopes of them remembering me from following them for so long😆 Have fun at the game! I need to get to the new stadium! I haven't been since we had our second baby!

[@meganc9091]

85michellemybelle I commented on a somewhat recent Instagram of hers where I think he was wearing a Braves hat and she replied that Joel just likes them. Imagine if they made the trek to Georgia one day for a game! Congrats on the second baby though! That one to two kid transition is tough. But you gotta get down here, once your kids are a bit older the new kids section of the stadium is fantastic also.

[@emilygee6618]

haha! When she said "lawn day" I thought she was trying to say "Landry"

[@Only_jessica91]

Can't wait to see Bonnie's brows and the patio cover!!

[@shaylagleason615]

I was in pull-ups until I was like 7-8. My mom was also tired of buying pull-ups. She told she wasn't buying them after a certain date. I have not wet the bed since! If I did, though, I would have to change my own sheets. Another option for Boston because it's a nightmare waking up soaked.

[@darrarichardson2897]

Oh my...Lincoln is too stinkin cute!!! He makes me smile!!

[@xxmaddyxx8809]

I love you guys so much !! 💗Never stop making vlogs !!

[@alyssabertram5462]

my favorite part of the vlog was Lincoln being cute and all of the kids!!! Love you guys 😀

[@janicemiller9006]

When our oldest son was potty training, he was trained at night before the day time. I had read something that I tried with him and it worked. About 30 minutes before he went to bed we gave him a small glass of mild with a teaspoon of honey stirred in (it takes a bit to stir it in because the milk is cold). Then have him go potty just before getting into bed. And he was dry in the morning. Not sure how it worked but it did. And it saved me having to get up with him in the night to take him potty. Go, Boston, you can do this.

[@RLRCMR2017]

I am still laughing over Joel saying " have fun with your eyebrows!" LOL!!!! Seriously you all are too funny!

[@TheWendellMonster]

It was so nice Joel seeing your parents with their grandchildren it was so sweet the back of your Dad walking with Cody they're wonderful people hope to see more of them👍

[@WashTV]

Oh girl, I'm on the same laid back potty training train... my twins are my last, I'm not rushing them through anything!! 😂😊

[@toohottohandle0_0]

WashTV cherish the baby days while you still can lol

[@jessicalaliberte9214]

Some kids just actually can't help it. My 6 year old daughter still wets the bed every single night. We've tried absolutely everything (except medication). I'm not too worried about it yet but the Dr. Said if she's still doing it when she's 8 we may have to try a medication. We make her go pee before bed and then right before I go to bed I take her to the toilet and sometimes I'll get her up again in the middle of the night when I'm up with my baby and she STILL wakes up wet. It's so frustrating! Anyways...I hope Boston is easier than my experience haha. Good luck!

[@TheOtherSideOfAlex]

oh snap do you guys see Joel's Mom's craft room! yaaasss! one day one day!

[@aliciaanderson1614]

Bonnie, where did you get your white top?? I love the shelves!!!!(0:

[@kamigladis7964]

Bonnie it's actually normal for kids, especially boys, to take up until 7 to make it through the night. After that it may be a concern to bring to your Doctor. My foster son was 6 before he was dry every night and his doctor said it just takes some kids bodies longer to be able to hold it. They can't control it. On the other hand, my bio son made it through the night almost right away shortly after training when he was 2.

[@kenzie3279]

I love bostons facial expressions 😂 I watch your vlog first thing in the morning while I'm waiting for the school bell to go off and you guys always make me so happy!

[@pamelabuccilli5960]

Bonnie my son was 17 months old dry during the day, and pull ups at night till around 2 one morning when he woke up said lets go potty, he said I did it all ready and pull up was warm so he just done, I took the pull ups off that night he never wet the bed once after that, the pull up is like a safety net.. is will be 23 in July ... good luck Boston Wade

[@ambolyne17]

Lol "sorry Bon have fun with your eyebrows!" That made me laugh out loud!

[@kellyedes6318]

lincoln making his faces is so cute. i agree when tgat at this stage they are so recordable they are learning so much at this age. love seeing the bonnies parents and your mom. they are amazing people ..

[@ZachandJami]

your a great momma Bonnie. We have to get creative sometimes to encourage our children to meet milestones. while it's possible that he can't control when he wets the bed I think encouraging him to think about a goal and work at his ability to reach it is awesome. you do your thing girl.

[@KaylaAlicia_]

Bon: "what does that say?" Boston: "Start over" Lol he is too cute!😂😂

[@MorganBylundLifestyle]

Bonnie I hope those brows are healing well!!! I am SO excited to see them! Enjoy your weekend Hoellein family ❤️

Bonnie, although I've watched for years, I barely ever comment but had to say- you look gorgeous these days! And you are an amazing mother, a real rolemodel for me :)

[@widmannwidmann1728]

I have to say Joel it's great for the kids to read but I read Tom Sawyer in 8th grade and everyone was still confused because of all the writing and slang but up to you, you might just want to read it with Olivia.

[@teapotty4888]

Poor little Boston,Something so personal made so public,and as we all know once something is on the internet it's out there forever.

[@ansleyrowan1863]

I love your beautiful family so much! Bonnie, I applaud your patenting techniques and remember my parents doing the same with me. Your little ones will grow up with so much more responsibility and awareness!

[@AnxiouslyLiving]

I have been watching you and your siblings from the very beginning. I have wanted to start my own channel for so long so I am trying my hardest to save money to get a good camera. Could you give any advice for someone who is looking to start? Your family is what I look forward to every morning. I feel like part of the family everyday

[@wingsintheamazon5144]

awww sweet Boston when he said the sign said "start over" it just was so cute and made me LOL. my daughter took a while to potty train too but it's good to not rush them

[@thewitchchild5926]

I feel like a "reward" method for being able to reach so many nights without wetting the bed, is a bad idea. Promise of a reward can NOT magically just stop a child from bed wetting. He doesn't do it on purpose. You will just cause them anxiety and self esteem issues about it. There is ton of early childhood research done about this................... sigh.

[@moniqueprempeh9863]

All her kids are cute but Cody is and Lincon are just adorable

[@bieberfever1055]

I did my first book report on Tom Sawyer too!

[@ellacollins8184]

[@TheAJFamilyVlogs]

Ella Collins I just started really catching up on them this past week! Such a great family!!

[@MarshaBenne]

Potty training is the worst!! My son quit wetting the bed when I stopped using pull-ups. I got a waterproof mattress pad just in case. Not to mention that pull-ups gave him a horrible rash.

[@MeganGuderian]

If you haven't already started (which I'm sure you have since you're a pro by now!) but stopping liquid intake a few hours before bed has always been the key for us! She still wets the bed sometimes if we forget and let her drink a bunch before going to sleep. Go Boston! You've got it buddy

[@mariaadolay9495]

Bonnie you have the best eyebrows already 😍 can't wait to see what they look after

[@margaretpervier8357]

I was a bed wetter. I don't think children stop wetting for a gift of their choice.

[@momjenn22]

Exactly. My youngest is 7 and still has to wear pull ups at night. He hates it and is embarrassed, but he still wets the bed. The dr is not concerned and said it just happens in some children and they can't control it. Only concern is if they're an adolescent and still wetting the bed. I feel sad for Boston. So much pressure on him for something he can't control.

[@margaretpervier8357]

exactly. bed wetters dont enjoy wetting; they cant help it. My mother tried everything; I just had to out grow it.

[@margaretpervier8357]

Okay. I dont recall saying that she was putting pressure on him.

[@gwynluv5447]

She's simply trying what has worked for her other kids. Once they get the daytime down, this is what has worked for the night. She won't know if this is a problem until it is one.

[@margaretpervier8357]

yes, I know exactly what you mean

[@ItalianNerd157]

I do my lawn on Thursdays too! The city picks up our trash on fridays mornings, so that's why I do it :)

[@careip]

Love it when Joel vlogs!

[@JuiceFamVlogs]

Bonnie I totally agree with you not rushing the kids with potty training! My son will be 3 in 3 months and he is just occasionally sitting on the toilet to introduce him and he actually peed in the toilet for the first time today! And he asked us! That was with no pushing him at all!

[@ljcl1859]

I found they had mishaps when they were overtired. Perhaps if you keep track you will notice that is the case with Boston as well. We could get away with one later than usual night but after a couple of nights, they were so tired they couldn't wake up to go. It's amazing how just a half hour can make a difference.

[@Momof4boys]

Try taking him to the toilet in the middle of the night when you or your husband get up to go to the restroom. It helps.

[@debblumenthal2579]

When Bonnie & Joel say "lawn Day", I thought you were both saying it funny for "laundry day"..lol! So where does Boston Wade get his name from?! I'm assuming someone is a Red Sox fan!

[@pelusababby3614]

Deb Blumenthal lol me too

[@qiannag3053]

Deb Blumenthal If you go and watch Lincoln's name reveal they talk about each kids' name

[@evabeck9389]

Lincoln is soooooooo adorable during this stage cuz it passes so quickly.

[@dulynoted2427]

It happens to just about every kid, when their body's are growing their organs are not yet proportionally grown. You can set an alarm sometime in the middle of the night. Maybe an hour after asleep and if not for a later time, till you catch it before?

[@bellissimo431]

I think I was five when I was potty trained at night and I turned out pretty good I think. No rush Boston, you're awesome

[@Chiaramariaauss]

It takes 21-24 days to break a habit!

[@zaraa6673]

Wahoo early and omg Olivia's dress is so darn cute!

[@gabc0]

just a friendly tip from one mommy to the other:) . 4 years old I feel is pretty old to still it be potty trained at bedtime.when my kids were 2, I started daytime potty training and at night time I would put a pull up but also leave a potty chair in the room (I had a baby gate at their door). I found this helped night time alot because almost every morning I would wake up and find that they went to potty during the night.

[@Unofkystudent]

Having a potty chair in the room is a great tip if children are "lazy wetters" or for those who might be afraid to get up and go to the bathroom, but it's actually quite normal for a 4 year old to not be completely accident free at night and since Boston didn't know he was wet it would seem he is not awake when he's wetting. What parents refer to as "nighttime training" is truthfully not training at all, but the ability of a child's body to hold urine and/or wake up when needing to go at night. You cannot actually train the body to do either of these things. There are plenty of children who are able to sleep through the entire night and wake up dry even before they're potty trained (that's always a good indication of readiness) and many children develop that natural ability right around the age of potty training which is why many parents refer to this as having nighttime trained their child. However, if a child's body does not develop this ability and that child's brain does not trigger them to wake up in the night when there is an urge to go, then you end up with true bedwetting (in other words, a child that is fully asleep and wetting). Having a potty in the room will only help if the child is waking at the urge.

[@Paige-zr6pn]

There's so much I'd like to say but I'm also aware it's not my place and sometimes you don't realize how things may look or come off. Know that mistakes happen, and there's a million things that makes us say "you guys are seriously the best".

[@longgone1238]

I do love your videos for the most part, but I do have one note of honest criticism. The style of titles you use is not clickbait, I watch all of your videos because I enjoy them anyways and you have a really fun and happy family. Although, it seems to me that your titles could shame your kids and that they could be embarrassing for them in the future since these videos will be on KZbin for years. Just thought that I should say something since I've seen these types of titles several days within a short period of time.

[@sandralee4087]

Did you mean to say "it's not clickbait? Or it is clickbait?

[@PRichardsonFL1]

I love this lip color on you, Bonnie!

[@christelwoesthoff1227]

so, if he doesnt pee, he gets a reward, but if he does, he did it on purpose? What is the message here, I don't understand

[@courtneymynheer3746]

Chrissy K. OMG you people are so annoying!! She said it worked for her other two kids so she is just trying to see if it will help him. She never he littled him in any way. Yes a toy is fine especially since her kids appreciate everything they get, they are not spoiled at all other than being loved. A toy is fine.

[@christelwoesthoff1227]

[@alliemclaughlin3559]

You should make a video about microblading! I would love to hear how much it is and your experience with it. I've been contemplating on getting mine done. ❤️ YOU GUYS

[@sandralee4087]

Me too but the closest place is four and a half hours away! I'm just going to have to wait until something is closer.

[@kittycat3190]

A lot of nurseries won't take children if they aren't potty trained once they reach 3! In uk boston would be starting school in September and would have to be potty trained. It is interesting different rules in different countries x

[@emaleeplumley3418]

When Bonnie said 'Lawn Day' I thought she was making a cute word for 'Laundry'😂 because Joel was holding a onesie and I didn't realize he was putting it on little Lincoln.

[@Directionertakeover5]

I had the same problem when I was young! My mom said I stoped when I stopped drinking liquids before bed

[@emilyjohnson3770]

"What does that say?" "Start over." 🤣🤣🤣

[@Momof4boys]

I think you are wonderful people and enjoy your channel. But how embarrassing to do to your child on KZbin. That is really a private matter. It said if you embarrass someone in front of 3 or more people it's equivalent to murdering them. Please consider Boston's feelings on this matter. Even in front of your other children. You can not shame someone into not wetting the bed. Poor baby. G-d bless you and your family

[@Momof4boys]

Like I said I love Bonnie and her family. I think they are wonderful parents with awesome ideas to parenting and we don't have to agree with everything everyone does. G-d bless you

[@gwynluv5447]

Murdering them??? That seems a bit dramatic.

[@Momof4boys]

Anyone who has ever been embarrassed can attest to the feeling. The Torah which is also the first 5 books of the Bible says that. The headline reads "Peed the bed again." That's humiliating. Don't forget there is also a camera and 3 other children right there. Children have feelings. I'm sure if one of you wet the bed you wouldn't want it broadcast to the world. I have 3 young children and have been through this myself but they grow out of it. Change the sheet or pull ups and move on.

[@Momof4boys]

Well that's the teaching I learned as a child from the Torah. If you have ever been embarrassed in front of someone you would agree. Boston was embarrassed. There is a camera and 3 other children in the room. It is a private matter. When my children wet in there sleep it is cleaned up with no mention of it and we move on. My now 10 year old used to wet the bed he doesn't now. But I by no means am a perfect parent and neither is anyone else. I was just sad for Boston. He does have feelings and they are important

[@Momof4boys]

Caitlin698 the headline didn't read that. It read "Peed the bed again" that is humiliating. There are tactful ways to go about life and not so tactful ways. I'm not perfect either but if I was shaming my sons I would hope it would be brought to my attention. G-d bless you

[@hamdha9695]

Bonnie, I peed my bed for a long time and I stopped peeing my bed because I ate/drank one table spoon of honey every night when I went to bed. I did that for a month and it stopped and it never happened again. so plz do that for boston if you wanna check it out

[@meb8168]

Bonnie!! We need a before of the eyebrows!! I am sure they look great, and I know it takes time for them to settle in and calm down.

[@nicolelevine6557]

[@debbiejordan3791]

Alot of kids can't outgrow the bedwetting until much later. It's not necessarily habit.

[@heatherbenavides4530]

I had that same book series as a kid! I plan to get some off Amazon for my son when he gets a little older. I hope Olivia enjoys them!

[@sandralee4087]

The book looks hard to read for her age group. She didnt look too enthusiastic.

[@heatherbenavides4530]

I don't think so. I read them around her age, 3rd-4th grade. I think she might have been tired. Or not looking forward to doing "work" on summer break. That would have made me unhappy too lol!

[@kate.b10]

I've seen some comments about potty training, and I don't comment on You Tube much anymore, but I just want to say I think it's fine to talk about potty training, just maybe don't check him next time in front of the camera.

[@Only_jessica91]

I'm having the same problem with one of my twins. I'm tired of buying pull-ups! They have been day potty trained since 27 months, he just can't shake it no matter what I try.

[@Only_jessica91]

simply danLrene They are 4 now, and I definitely don't shame him for wetting, but I do show him how proud I am of him when he is dry.

[@Only_jessica91]

My other 4 year old stopped about 6+ months ago. And even seeing him not get a pull-up didn't help. He'll be dry every now and then. And yes, I did try the waking them up before I went to bed to potty didn't help. I also read that his bladder could not be mature yet or he's not producing enough of the hormone that reduces the amount of urine the body produces at night. He'll get there. It's just that pull-ups aren't cheap and washing bedding every day isn't cheap. And the wear and tear on it.

[@Only_jessica91]

Speaking ok, he was dry this morning.

no judgement here by potty at night is not even something they can control... they are sleeping. I have a 8 year old who we have been working on it for years and she just sleeps so deeply and has an accident once a week. i would hate to discourage her with something she can not even control

[@MysticalGuidance4U]

What parent would share the potty training process ,bed wetting on KZbin ? How cruel is that ... Did you stop to thing how Boston may feel, when he is older in life, that is mother & father filmed & shared with the KZbin world him wetting the bed ... That could be very psychologically -damaging... STOP AND THING there is a Nuff bullying going on in the world, without u giving personal information about your child's development . How would you feel if your parents shared your bed wetting experience with the world. And when you stared school your friend found KZbin video ,of you bed wetting experience ,and bully to you about it.

[@morgan4474]

Don't feel bad about filming Lincoln so much. I love it. :)
