Comments on: It’s Potty Time: Our Path To Success http://www.themomcrowd.com/its-potty-time-our-path-to-success Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:58:25 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Sara http://www.themomcrowd.com/its-potty-time-our-path-to-success/comment-page-1#comment-52040 Sara Thu, 15 Jan 2009 23:13:35 +0000 http://www.themomcrowd.com/its-potty-time-our-path-to-success#comment-52040 I am a little scared to actually write this as it may jinx me.....But we just potty trained my 2 year old. He is 2 years and 2 months. I have two older boys and he has been the fastest and eaisest by far. I wasn't really planning on trying with him for a while but one day he brought me the wipes and diaper and said "Mommy change me". That's when I knew he was ready. I ALWAYS do potty training with underwear. We only use pull ups for night time or going out of the house. It took him 1 day!! He had two accidents and freaked out. He did not like having his underwear wet at all. I am still amazed at how easy it has been. I think in part because he has two older brothers. But each child is different. My middle son was not ready when I first tried with him and had to wait about 4 months later till he showed signs. What I have learned is: Wait till your child shows signs. It will make it so much eaiser on you and them. If your child is ready it should only take a week or so. If they are not ready both you and them will be in tears.

We spent one month trying incentives, Pull-Ups, and patience (lots of the things you mentioned). But it wasn't going well. Our ah-ha moment? We soon found that the Pull-Ups really weren't that different than the diapers, so it was no big deal to go in them. So we moved on to underwear and had him potty-trained in just a few days!

I know I really learn a lot from others. I have no idea when I am going to start potty training Annabelle. She is 20 months and I am just now trying to teach her what poo-poo and pee-pee are. I also let her in the bathroom when I go and explain that my pee is going down the potty. All while trying to keep her hands off the toilet seat after I am up!
