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.
Oh, and I also meant to say….
Nice guns, woman!
🙂 I like that. I’m potty-training my second child, first boy. There are good days and then there are most days.
Oh Holly–I feel for ya but you do look great in the pic 😉
Just think, this time when you’re done, you’re DONE!
I know.
I know.
I know.
PS… i think that is a pretty SEXY picture of you, btw!!
😉
in my opinion… boys are a lot harder to train than girls. so maybe if you can convince your son he is a girl… ONLY for potty training measures and ONLY till he is fully potty trained you can do all this without ripping your hair out! 😉 just a thought I had.
good luck!! xoxoxoxo
My sister is in the middle of trying to rid her laundry room of pee smell because her 3 year old is um potty training right now….and sometimes he just doesn’t make it.And much to her chagrin…the pee scent has decided to remain indefinitely.
I am just pondering potty training #2…She's enamored with her new pink potty and even tinkled in it! But I've got plenty of time.
Best of luck, M&M's worked like a charm for my oldest daughter. One for tinkle, two for poop.
Oh yes. Potty training. I’ve got lots more of it in my future…
