I'm just using that as a reference date so I'm happy if he's trained earlier than that.Celia Marie (W.)

But Spencer totally surprised me and was totally potty trained about 2 1/2. Now, that's not to say he didn't have his difficulties. But it went a lot more smoothly than I thought! Dean can totally do it, he's a smart kiddo!-Laura-https://www.blogger.com/profile/10013042292022123369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23556887.post-78365003339783417502009-06-21T19:34:55.073-05:002009-06-21T19:34:55.073-05:00Addie is STILL in that phase.

She will then pee in the potty and try to coax her BM out saying, "Come on, poo-poo."randa_joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762737188214475334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23556887.post-43002341414584230502009-06-20T23:31:56.143-05:002009-06-20T23:31:56.143-05:00Oh, potty training.

I think the really strange thing about it is that it comes up at a time when you've kind of been cruising along with your toddler, thinking you kind of have things down pat. You know? It's like you haven't had to tackle anything really new in quite a lot of months and here comes the potty thing and with the first kiddo it's a steep learning curve. <br />I think the familiarizing stuff really does work--lay a good groundwork and then let the kid take the lead. Patrick was fully daytime trained by 2 3/4 and nighttime trained by 3, if that helps with a frame of reference. Although, here we are at 3 1/2 and there's still the very occasional nighttime accident if there's too much liquid during the day, or he played to hard and is sleeping deeply. Patience is the name of the game, right? <br />Good luck!AmyJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110725642243839603noreply@blogger.com
