I knew she was going to have to be trained to move into the "big kid room" at our three-room daycare (babies, potty trained toddlers, preschoolers) once school was back in session, but the LAST thing I wanted to do that summer was have to pull off the side of the road in Northern Ontario or find a convenient sand dune on the beach somewhere if she decided she had to pee. So we waited until the last two weeks of our vacation to try potty training. Week 1: Potty training in a rented hous in Nantucket. We went cold turkey- no pull ups, excpet at night. The first couple of days she wet her pants a lot, but we limited ourselves to Childrens Beach (with a handy bathroom), the house, and downtown (a short walk from our house, also with conveniently located potties every 10 feet). We carried lots of clean undies and pants with us. We plopped her on the potty every 90 minutes whether she needed it or not. One more week at home and she was trained. I always felt a little guilty/ lazy for doing it this way, but in the end (heh) it was the right thing for all of us. <BR/>Like many before me have said... she won't go to kindergarten in diapers. You guys do what feels right for you.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051433364695879305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-55128542626446854612007-12-18T18:11:00.000-05:002007-12-18T18:11:00.000-05:00I'm with you.

So this is what I tell parents--lighten up. No child goes to college in diapers (or breastfeeding, which my mother thought my son was going to do). Most of the time, kids know when they are ready and we need to watch for the signs that they are telling us. Like when they say, I want to use the potty. If you start trying to toilet train a child before he is ready you will be struggling and battling with your child until he is ready. Also, every child has a different way of learning and managing this. My son trained easily. My daughter--I knew she was ready but she was pretty stubborn. When she was close to 4, I said, okay, now you wear underwear. 11 years later she is still wearing underwear and she is still stubborn.<BR/><BR/>Trust your gut. Go with your instincts. You know your kid and you know yourself. If you reach a point where you think it is really time and it is not going well, I know someone with many years of experience who swears by the book "Toilet Teaching." I think it is out of print, but you can get it used at Amazon.com. <BR/><BR/>She swears by it. I don't.

Seriously, it sounds like you're doing everything right. I waited until my son was ready (3 years and two months) and it was no big deal. It was over and done with by the end of day two. The last thing I wanted was for him to be potty trained before his brother was born because of the above-mentioned need to clean pee off of the couch, help him, and take care of his newborn brother..and the c-section...there is just no reason to potty train until both kid and parent are ready.Alex Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567976812466320977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-44509350616508350892007-12-13T21:21:00.000-05:002007-12-13T21:21:00.000-05:00Oh great.

It worked, he got a new train, and then the next day refused to go on the toilet again.
