I'm a little nervous, but I hope we have as much success as you had with your littles!Kelsi Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774483314016341870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763380180041018095.post-15799764229335921622014-07-20T21:13:44.011-05:002014-07-20T21:13:44.011-05:00Sofia(26 mos.) is still in diapers but she from ti...Sofia(26 mos.) is still in diapers but she from time to time surprises us by bringing a diaper. I still don't think she's ready as she doesn't seem to know when she's wet or not. I got her some cloth training pants to see how she does with that. Here's hoping for success and no more diapers!Bitzsoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751865598885412172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763380180041018095.post-35848912105459452682014-07-16T14:46:00.346-05:002014-07-16T14:46:00.346-05:00we waited until both of ours were beyond ready. Bo...we waited until both of ours were beyond ready. Both were a little older than 2.5. We had a potty like you and talked about it but around the same exact age I knew they were ready. We "threw away the diapers" (except didn't bc they were needed for bedtime) and never looked back. Panties and undies full time and neither one of them ever had an accident! It was incredibly easy! My biggest tip is wait until they are ready and FULLY understand the entire concept. At that point go full Monty, dont look back. I have friends who pushed too early and their kids always (and still do) have accidents. I'm NO expert but waiting until they are a little older is easier on everyone in my opinion!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638290526659938930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763380180041018095.post-90669341913885108972014-07-15T08:50:16.128-05:002014-07-15T08:50:16.128-05:00I used "Toilet Training in Less Than One Day&...I used "Toilet Training in Less Than One Day" by Nathan Arzin. A few of the ideas/routines to follow were a bit far fetched for us, but I modified it a bit and my daughter was trained after that one day...able to pull up and down her pants, dump the potty in the toilet and flush. They also recommend if they're struggling pulling their pants up and down, go a size bigger for a bit. The entire day (I blocked off a weekend and took Monday off work) she wore a size up in panties and that was it. It was easy for her to pull them up and down. At the end, I was able to use Monday as a "me" day and not use it for potty training! Another thing they recommend is that you focus only on going to the bathroom the entire time. Even if your spouse is home, only talk potty shop :) So...he left for the day while I talked 24 hours about "are you dry, are you wet, do you have to go...." it was exhausting but so worth it. Good luck! Also, I've been following your blog now for about two months...I just found out I'm having boy/girl twins and love all your information :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763380180041018095.post-85220532443422549212014-07-15T08:04:37.892-05:002014-07-15T08:04:37.892-05:00After reaching almost every milestone at the same ...After reaching almost every milestone at the same time, potty training was something that was completely different for my girls. They were just ready at different times. It's okay to embrace the uniqueness even if it means a complicated few months of potties and diapers. Now at 3.5 years old both girls are completely potty trained at both day and night so we are a diaper and pull up free house woohoo! Good luck.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16355002626794448076noreply@blogger.com
