A Milestone, of sorts
Today Daughter did #1 on her Elmo potty. For the first time! She was unimpressed, and I know this is the start of a long ride.
*sigh*
In a perfect world, children would wake up on their second birthday and just be able to use the toilet then and there. No more diapers, no bargaining, no accidents, no pleading to pleeeeeeease try sitting on the potty.
I have been changing diapers for the last six years, I'm ready to give that up. I hope, I really hope, that Daughter trains easier than Son.

Good luck!

Posted by: junebee at February 15, 2006 02:05 PMDon't know if this will work, but a friend of mine gave me this advice and it helped-with my first. My second went potty when she was good and ready.
We got one of those cooking timers and set it for every 15-20 minutes. Then when the bell went off, tada, we went potty. Yay!!!!!!!!!! Fun, fun. It was a game. She got an m&m or two or three. Perty soon, she was pottyin' expecting candy everytime. :) It did work pretty well.
