Well done Dylan... and you, for that amazing day of hourly potty sits, I'm so impressed.

I did commit to staying home a lot the first week.<BR/><BR/>I think a huge thing is to start sooner rather than later, right around 2 to 2+1/2. I think waiting until 3 is just inviting a power play--they're aware of how much it means to you and they can use it.Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726176143932759835.post-85402260824284121172009-01-26T18:45:00.000-08:002009-01-26T18:45:00.000-08:00Potty Training book saved my Sanity!! ____________...Potty Training book saved my Sanity!! <BR/>________________________________________<BR/>Men’s Health Magazine (Sept. issue) recommends Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day: Proven Secrets of the Potty Pro by Teri Crane. My husband picked us up a copy after reading the article. IT REALLY WORKS!! <BR/><BR/>Everyone is talking about throwing a "potty party" to potty train a child. I was so desperate; I was willing to do anything. Her book outlines 10 themed parties. What kid doesn't love to play and pretend? All my mommy friends have successfully potty trained their kids with her book too.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, when I first learned of this book, I thought NO WAY! Maybe this would work on a little girl, but NOT a BOSSY, 2-1/2 year old BOY. NO WAY! Guess what? It REALLY WORKED!!! Teri Crane SAVED MY SANITY!!! Her book was easy to read, funny and extremely helpful. I can't thank Teri enough. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to EVERY parent. It will save you much grief and frustration. Potty training shouldn't be difficult, we as parents make it difficult because we don't know what to do. Teri teaches you. Buy the book, it's the best money you will ever spend<BR/><BR/>Most amazingly, I had some questions, so I called the author, and she CALLED ME BACK!!Gwyneth Paltrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943746893256776277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726176143932759835.post-87076282147888932812009-01-26T10:20:00.000-08:002009-01-26T10:20:00.000-08:00Peer Pressure worked for my girlys!CONGRATS!

I was super laid back about it (as in I was already chaging Maren's diapers multiple times a day, what was a few more?!) A week after his 3rd birthday Cooper announced that he didn't want to wear diapers any more and that he wanted to wear his underwear - and that was it. He never looked back! I wish it were that easy for everyone else, but I must admit that I enjoy reading all about it!

Maybe that's why we're still partially in pull-ups, though. Well, that, and the fact that we are NEVER home. Hmph.<BR/><BR/>(BTW, I know I still owe you an email.

You have great ideas for encouraging though.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and by the way, I'm not really going to increase my meds as everyone was worried I would do. It was a joke. I'm already on high doses of drugs.... I'm kidding!!!! I'm not at all. I was just kidding! :-)<BR/><BR/>This post was very funny and hit close to home for me...of course. :-)Lisa @ Boondock Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726176143932759835.post-1900117699222841502009-01-25T19:12:00.000-08:002009-01-25T19:12:00.000-08:00OH MY GOSH!!!

HA!<BR/><BR/>You'll remember that I drove myself insane sitting in the bathroom with my girls. They finally (almost) all got it when I just left the bathroom door open and said, "You know where the potty is, you know what to do." I had to take myself out of it or else we would all have gone insane.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!The Girls' Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249717383412594833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726176143932759835.post-63191420881736704332009-01-25T11:34:00.000-08:002009-01-25T11:34:00.000-08:00This made me laugh!
