It's funny that potty training is such a big deal to the mama, but nobody else cares. I can't even remember much about my siblings getting potty trained, but I'm sure it was a big event for my mom. Well, Squeak was interested, therefore I was interested, so I tried this potty training method a few weeks ago. It worked! It took more than a day (five days, actually), but what a thrill to see my little munchkin go to the potty all by herself. I heard rave reviews about the method from Beasta and Shelly. I can now say I highly recommend the method too! "Potty trained" means the child goes to the potty, pulls down panties, sits down, used the potty, empties the potty in the toilet, flushes, puts the potty back, and puts clothes back on without assistance. There's no arguing about staying on the potty for hours, and no dealing with six months in pull-ups. (I will confess that Squeak LOVES running around "desnuda" after using the potty so we're still working on modesty afterwards). But, hey, I'm only washing cloth diapers for one kid now! Whoopeee!

Toilet Training in Less Than A Week

That's some awesome work! Squeak's not even 2 yet, right?! I'm way impressed!!
That is exciting!!! We did a chart with stickers and Michael loved it, but I've heard a lot about this method too and think we'll give it a go this next time around. One week is definitely better than a month of hit and miss!
Hey, I tried calling you the other day and then again today. I couldn't seem to reach you so I called your mom. Email me or call me if you can and let me know when you'll be available. Ann and I would like to get together with you, isn't it fun to be so wanted!!!
Can't wait to see you & your babes.
Hurray! :) I'm SO happy it worked!
Thanks for the advice! I am going to try that with Miss Syd!
I'm skeptical, but intrigued. It took me about 6 months to train both my older kids, so I'm dreading training my 2 year old. Let's chat!
I did a method like that with Brenton. It was wonderful! We had a potty party for him after one day of just me and him with the potty. We had a few accidents a couple of weeks after that, but after about a month, no more accidents. We don't even have to remind him to go potty.
Congratulation!
