Our son was a snap. He was able to do it for a long time and didn't care. But then one day he was going at daycare and so we figured he was ready. He wore underwear! The pooping wasn't easy but when we talked about it, he made some comment about it hurting on the potty so we explained that it didn't. He was good after that. He rarely has accidents.<br /><br />We bought him a toy to really get him to stick with underwear in the beginning. If he wore underwear, he got the toy. And if he continued to wear underwear and use the potty, he got the other toy prize we kept on top of the fridge where he could see it.<br /><br />One thing that worked for our daughter was naked from the waist down--nothing to catch her accidents. She seemed to clue in more that she couldn't just go and keep on playing. Also, I've heard of using underwear under pull-ups so the kid really feels wet and uncomfy but when you're out, there's no mess.<br /><br />Good luck!!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492898465897070415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350995777829265071.post-86708567950855655722011-12-07T20:56:01.355-07:002011-12-07T20:56:01.355-07:00I waited until my daughter was 3 (mostly because I...I waited until my daughter was 3 (mostly because I dreaded public toilets with a toddler) and it took about a day. Fully potty trained. I've heard that if you start training them at 18 months, they'll be trained by age 3. If you start at age 2, they'll be trained by 3. And if you start at 3, well.....mindfulnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09051297187357921592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350995777829265071.post-74831484268814403732011-12-07T12:55:20.290-07:002011-12-07T12:55:20.290-07:00Loved this post. :) And yes, those Republican deb...Loved this post. :) And yes, those Republican debates ARE quite interesting. Oops. :)<br /><br />Potty training has been on my mind a lot lately. My son just turned 2 and my daughter is 17 months old, and so far, I'm pretty sure they are not ready, but man, when they are, it's going to be work! Thanks for sharing how your experience has been going.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912857890584533572noreply@blogger.com
