After potting training 6 kids (2 not mine) the common sense stuff works! use the real toilet whenever possible(I had an insert so you guys didn't slip bum first into it :) but soon, that was gone too! and yes, take away the night cup...a sip will do after brushing teeth!<br />You go girl...and Noah (who knows, even Jude may decide he wants in on it for a 'thnak')!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00108620440179702084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-40959406124356718702011-01-10T14:37:41.956-05:002011-01-10T14:37:41.956-05:00I remember the frustrations. we did diaper for sl...I remember the frustrations. we did diaper for sleep - because of the amount of pee elijah would do at night. and found once we stopped pull ups and switched to underpants he got the idea better. He totally knew pullups were diapers - he called them his diapers. <br />it took us forever - or we felt it was that long. but then one day i realized that i hadn't had to clean a mess or he had worn the same underwear all day. <br />be patient - that was my biggest frustration - i wanted him to learn immediately. but stubborness needs to be matched with stubborness. <br />Noah will accomplish the goal - <br />we did a sticer and a jujube (green, his fave). 2 if it was poo in the potty. He did better on the actual toilet than a potty too.<br />anyway, all the best. looking forward to the day you announce - NO MESSES!! He did it!!michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242450275000116932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-19990570640478160712011-01-10T13:31:31.668-05:002011-01-10T13:31:31.668-05:00the potty training game goes differently for every...the potty training game goes differently for everyone... and i applaud you for waiting until you felt Noah was ready and not feeling pressured to have him trained before he was two!<br /><br />you have a great game plan... one thing i found was that the treats quickly lost their appeal so i had to keep upping the ante. we started with a sticker chart which worked well for about 4 days... and then we progressed to other treats... <br /><br />we were not as fortunate as others who have their kids trained within a week... took about a month, so patience and frustration tolerance was of the essence! oddly enough, Chase has never had a night time accident (so weird!)... however, well over a year later we still have virtually daily incidents because he's so engaged with playing he doesn't go to the bathroom on time -- it's still quite frustrating.<br /><br />you're a star!! all the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-13899562616217658002011-01-10T11:02:57.716-05:002011-01-10T11:02:57.716-05:00we use pull-ups at night still. they don't hol...we use pull-ups at night still. they don't hold much though. we had to wean Zoe from drinking fluids about a 45 min before bedtime, otherwise she wakes up soaked in the morning.manizorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16909026027631510202noreply@blogger.com
