so we are beginning potty training this week for #2. we just bought him all kinds of character underpants and the lightning mcqueen potty that makes sounds and lights up and other crazy things. be nice to get down to just diapers for #3

I would give anything to get #2 potty trained. She'll be 3 in just under 2 months and she has no interest whatsoever in going to the potty. She knows when she needs to go to the bathroom and knows how to use the potty, she just doesn't want to. Mrs. ble has told her that we aren't buying anymore diapers and once we're out she's got to start using the potty. We'll see how that works, but the preschool she's signed up for this year requires her to be potty trained, so we have until the first of September.
Good luck NJ!

we didn't go as far as says this is the last when we are out then you have to start. we told him he couldn't go to preschool if he wasn't potty trained We "threw out" what was visible to minisnick and said no more. we doubled up the character undies with the cloth training pants to help absorb most of an accident. it took an accident or two but it was within a couple days.
good luck to you both

We haven't used diapers in months, except for pull-ups at night. Mini-MS2 was off diapers right at his birthday. Both of ours responded well to wearing nothing but a shirt all day.
We got lucky with mini-kevo. She wanted to go potty so the whole potty trying thing was cake for us.
She does need to have a diaper on for her nap and bedtime though. When do kids outgrow that? She just turned 3.

as long as he went pee before nap time he didn't have problems then. at night when we woke up dry for a week we stopped with the pull ups. probably 4 monthes or so after he was potty trained.
we have been super lucky with my girls, they both showed interest before they were two. we were not ready when they were. for each of them it took one weekend with big girl panties, we bought 8 pair of underwear and did a lot of wash that weekend but after that no diapers/pullups at all(actually that's not true a couple of times i did put pullups on them when i went to the store). had one or two accidents at night with each. hardest part was getting #2 off the little potty and on to the big potty. we shall see how my youngest does.

^the little potty was for #1 only, if we knew it was #2 time it was big potty with the seat cover...we got tired having to clean poop out of the little potty.

Neither of our boys took to the baby potty very well. They like the one that flushes.
So an early update. #2 will sit on the potty quite intently, and then get up and pee all over the floor. He then takes the seat, wears it as a hat and runs through the house. No actual potty work being done yet.

It's likely one of the view times he'll be able to intentionally piss on the floor and get away with it.

Baby YMZ (who will be named as such until she's 80 and I'm dead) was super stubborn about the potty as well. Finally last month we just forced her to wear underwear both during the day and at night and made her choose between sitting in her mess or cleaning it up herself. Fortunately her stubbornness about being clean won out over the other kinds of stubbornness. I don't know if that would have worked with a boy though.
Oh, we also told her she couldn't wear cute clothes until she stopped wetting herself. That helped a ton.

that was the biggest help when we potty trained our kids, once you "go" you must ditch the pull ups and diapers and make them wear regular underwear.. If they sit in a turd or pee soaked undies and dont complain then they just are probably not ready...
its short period of pain for the parents but in the long run that was the best thing we ever did..........

lovely...minisnick apparently is quite the ladiesman at daycare. The owner mentioned this morning while we talking about how awake the early kids were that day, that there is some serious jealousy going on amoungst the girls when minisnick plays with other girls. Even yesterday when I picked him up, one of the new little girls told me as we were leaving that she really liked minisnick.
i blame it on the dimples...who can resist a dimpled smile.

Just read this quote and it hit my sentimental side pretty hard. I still carry both kids around whenever they want me to and I tell my wife that I'm going to do it as long as I can because there is going to come a time when they don't want me to pick them up any more. Hopefully that's still a long time from now.
