Historically, toilet training success of a two year old has been measured in:

1. # of “productive” visits to the toilet per day.
2. # of trips out of the house without an accident.
3. # of loads of laundry avoided.
4. # of naps/nights the child wakes dry.

I agree that will give you good information, but there is a simpler way…

Today is day #2 of potty training my 3rd boy and I propose the following theory:


A day’s potty training success is directly proportional to the number of hairs remaining on the mother’s head.






May God bless my potty training soul.
