(Oh, and the summer when he was 1.5 years I let him run around in the back yard naked a lot so he'd get to know the sensation when he started to urinate) We started potty training around 2 years 3 months. He was interested in it and did wonderful for about a day, then lost interest. I bribed him with things he rarely gets. At the beginning he'd get juice for just sitting on the potty, then after I knew he could do it well, he would only get it if he actually urinated. He would get a Dum Dum sucker for poop. We'd get excited and dance every time he went, sometimes call Andy and he could tell him about it. He got to flush the toilet (for some reason a very big deal to him) only when he went. I also prepped him before hand with a potty Dvd and book. All my friends told me not to push it, they'll do it when they are ready. Two great pieces of advice I got... don't expect to accomplish anything while you are potty training and don't even start potty training if you are having an easily-annoyed day. That's all I've got!Andrew, Arianna, Liam, and Asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15106429485360247750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126874759853767120.post-29779229892536169902010-03-15T18:05:42.951-07:002010-03-15T18:05:42.951-07:00I think the key is "when they're ready, t...I think the key is "when they're ready, they're ready". My daughter just decided one day that she wanted to pee on the big girl potty like me. And that was pretty much about it. I'm dreading potty training Max! It can't be that easy again :)<br />Good luck! Can't wait to read anyone else's suggestions.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988590894638135312noreply@blogger.com
