We are currently working on the Potty Chart. Every time you go pee you get a sticker on your chart, poop is worth 2. Once you get 5 stickers, you get a special surprise. I just went to the dollar store and got a handful of color books & puzzles, cars & trucks. It sort of works for Carter. He's excited to get the special surprise at the end, but not so excited to do all the work required to get it!Geiger Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711614542907211155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373572529652602282.post-57299166662844620562010-01-11T21:41:58.040-06:002010-01-11T21:41:58.040-06:00Thank you all so much for your advice!!!

Pull-Ups are a blessing when you need to leave the house while on this little adventure, but personally (other than night-time of course), I think that is the only time you should use them! I believe that if God hadn't planned on a few accidents here and there, he wouldn't have given us washing machines!!! Best of luck to you both! It's a hard time, a trying time, but you learn a lot from this experience...

We call them the "sick big boy underwear" b/c of the flu! :( I also made my boys clean up their messes! (I helped of course) They didn't like that very much and were potty trained SUPER FAST! I hope my girl goes as easy as my boys. Best of luck!<br /><br />After he has accomplished potty training the next step is checking out EVERY TOILET IN EVERY STORE/HOUSE :)Carpenter'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409270225439167036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373572529652602282.post-14146090655777380542010-01-11T15:19:36.163-06:002010-01-11T15:19:36.163-06:00wow that was a wordy comment...sorry ann! :)wow that was a wordy comment...sorry ann! :)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308259992240944354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373572529652602282.post-75621219153879204582010-01-11T15:18:22.916-06:002010-01-11T15:18:22.916-06:00We did pull-ups with Brecken, but waited until he ...We did pull-ups with Brecken, but waited until he was VERY interested & it didn't take very long - probably a couple weeks for him to catch the hang of pottying. Pooping took a little longer. With Leighton, we skipped pull-ups & went straight to underwear (the thicker ones by Gerber). The first two days were tons of accidents, but then he got the hang of it. I would say he was completely trained (without me asking) within a week. We did underwear at night too...sometimes with plastic pants over them. One hint with that - double up your sheets - alternate pad/sheet/pad/sheet. Then if he wets in the middle of the night, you just pull off the top 2 layers instead of remaking the bed! Good luck!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308259992240944354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373572529652602282.post-10821120685634394952010-01-11T15:01:09.951-06:002010-01-11T15:01:09.951-06:00Hey Ann....oh the joy of potty training.... honest...Hey Ann....oh the joy of potty training.... honestly the best advice I got from some moms were after he catches on a little take away and pull-ups (obviously bedtime/naptime, different story)....and we did that and it only took a couple accidents in his underwear to get him to remember.Hayes Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033400732307266091noreply@blogger.com
