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.
Can you make a video training series for this,I am sucking at it.
Yeah that’ll do it
When you are done, c’mon over. Mine is ready, willing, and able. She just needs a parent to give a crap and help her out. Oops, did I type that out loud? Heh.
We too are potty training and I am so with you and your hair! Good luck! How old is Rhett?
In our house, potty training success was directly proportional to the number of new Hot Wheels Jungle Boy had in his collection. I’m a big believer in bribes disguised as incentives too.
I’ll buy that! And I’m guessing it’s pretty simple to figure out since there are so few hairs left?
Our potty training theory went more like this:
A day's potty training success is directly proportional to the number of M&M's received and consumed.
Bribes…er,um,…incentives are the best!
Good luck with the potty training and your hair is gorgeous! Try to refrain from removing it!!
Wow, good luck with it! Abbie is fully trained and we think girls may just be easier. We tried all the different potties out there and the one that worked was the “talking potty.” We hate it, but it worked. She will be 3 in November and has stayed dry overnight and at nap the past 3 months… girls are easier!
Go smack the dad and yell at him for giving you boys! It is his fault you know, that you are going bald…{grin}
OK, which kid took the picture?
Also, here’s a potty training tip: My mom potty-trained my youngest while we were in Russia. Maybe you can go on a trip and leave him with your mom for a week. Worked for me.
you will be in my thoughts!!! I hated hated hated potty training – saw no redeeming value whatsoever … I mean, we are working so hard to make them grow up and leave us!!!
Good luck, and find lots of snacks .. for you, not him!!!
