Thread: Potty Training Updates

How is potty training going?
Who is training? Little potty, big potty, or potty seat?
Who is still waiting? If waiting when do you plan on starting?
Who is trained? Day and night or just day? Big boy/girl pants? Pull-ups?
Any tips, tricks, anything that worked for you that you want to share.

Vance I think might be potty trained, I just don't want to say it out loud yet for fear of jinxing our huge progress, and it is also freaking me out, lol. I'm happy to have him go potty and not to change diapers but sad that my last baby is becoming a big boy. We had two outings today and he had no accidents all day, he asked to go potty like a big boy. I"m taking him to buy his own big boy underwear tomorrow since I think it is time for them. EKK! He just uses the big potty because he refuses to use the little potty we bought him for Christmas. Right now he is day and napped trained, he has some nights where he stays dry that is what we are working on next. I could tell he was ready by all his little signs so I just deciding to jump in full force. I left him naked all day and would ask him if he has to go potty, now I don't even have to ask he will tell me. I still put diapers on for outings until I get his big boy undies tomorrow, and he will stay dry and ask to go potty. He even goes number 2 in the potty. I'm so proud of him and his potty progress and how quickly he trained.

We have started with Victoria because she has been really interested. So far though, we've only had 2 successes, where she actually went to the potty and peed. We are using little potties for now, although sometimes she wants the big one. She asks to go to the potty several times a day, but never does anything. Right now she wears pull-ups and will come to me and ask to be changed when she's peed or pooped. Occasionally, she will ask to wear the underwear that we got her for her birthday, but she just ends up peeing in them.

Starting Friday, I think I will let her go without pull-ups all day, regardless of the number of accidents, and just see how it goes over the weekend.

That's great that Vance is doing so well! It seems early for a boy, but then my boys were really late.

How is potty training going? It's beginning. Its not something we're totally pushing yet, Izzie seems to be leading the way so far. I'm planning on next week, when we will have a couple days at home without any interruptions to really focus on it. Yesterday she asked to go potty 10 times and went ewverytime - even with a poopy! But today, we're going to the zzoo and I really don't feel like having to run to the bathroom 5 or 6 times while we're there.
Little potty, big potty, or potty seat? We have a seat on the toilet.
Any tips, tricks, anything that worked for you that you want to share. Not really sure if this is a tip or trick or whatever, but instead ofd doing candy or a sticker everytime she goes (yesterday she wouldve been on a sugar high haha) we have some books in the bathroom that we'll read if she goes pee (on is a "potty book" that has a button to push to make a toilet flusahing and girl laughing sound so she likes that one a lot). Otherwise I just cheer a lot and tell her how happy I am. And in her potty book it says something about mommy and daddy being proud and yesterday after like the 3rd time of her going I told her I was so happy and she goes "mommy daddy proud of me too!" It was so cute!

We've had a few successes, but mostly not going well, so we're on break. He knows when he has to poop and hides under the table, and *flips* if you take him anywhere near a potty, but he doesn't know before he has to pee. He can tell he's going and he can stop the flow, but usually he's just to interested, so he stops and watches it and then announces "I peed!"

I think we're gonna try to squeeze in a few naked weekends of him running outside just to have him start recognizing the pee sensation and then work on stopping it and control. My goal has always been to be actively working on it with him by the end of the summer, so we'll see.

How is potty training going? Its not, really

Who is training? Little potty, big potty, or potty seat? We're not really training, but we did buy a potty seat to put on the regular toilet that he can sit on. He thinks its pretty cool, and asks to sit on it sometimes. But, he's never gone while on it. He just sits there and looks around and thinks its a cool new "thing" to do, lol. He knows what poop is and probably pee too, and I've told him that we do those things on the potty, and he does them in his diaper. I think he understands the basic components but isn't really putting it all together yet. Which is fine. I'll wait for him to show some more signs of being ready before I/we start actively training him.

Who is still waiting? If waiting when do you plan on starting? I'm waiting; other than occasionally asking him if he wants to sit on the potty. I don't think he's quite ready yet though. Maybe in 6 months or so?

Any tips, tricks, anything that worked for you that you want to share. None, but I'm interested to read what others have to say because I really have no idea what i'm doing!

Not much going on here either. Ben pooped in the potty a few times, but I think that was fluke and it was quite a while ago. We aren't really doing anything except ask him if he wants to go sit on the potty when he 'strikes the pose', so to speak.

We're not really potty training right now. If Kat asks to go we put her on it, but it's usually right after she's peed or pooped. She knows that's where she's supposed to go, but doesn't seem to quite understand how to get there before she has to do so. She's had a couple successes, which we cheer heartily, but otherwise I'm content to let her do this at her own pace.
She is trying really hard, but can't seem to decide if she wants to just use the regular toilet like the rest of us, or the one that sits on top of the toilet and is more to her size. I think I might take the small one out, just to eliminate having to make a choice and create some consistency. Most of the time she's so busy trying to figure out if she wants a big or little potty that we miss our window of opportunity.

We're not even starting yet. He's interested in the potty. He has a book about the potty that he has memorized and recites randomly. He loves to sit on his little potty if he comes in the bathroom with us. He'll pretend to wipe himself and throw the TP in the potty, etc. But... If you try to sit him on it without his diaper on, he FREAKS OUT. He's still just not ready, I guess...

We are going to give it a try in the next week or two. I just potty trained my son so there is alot going on right now. We have a little potty and a seat for the big potty. She likes the little potty the most. She has sat on it so far but not gone yet. I am hoping it will just click like it did for Josh but I know I cant be that lucky. LOL
