I honestly am not one that wants to push my children to potty train. Sure there are times when I am buying a case of diapers I think how nice it would be to have that money for something else, but not enough to push. I don't look forward to accidents or using ever public restroom we are near... will it be any easier with a boy? Hmm.
Well about a year ago Hannah showed an interest in the potty, & because she was just over 18 months old I bought one of those little potties & we bought come panties. By the time I had all the gear & I was ready for the training to begin, she changed her mind! And she hasn't showed an interest.... Until now!
She has suddenly become more aware of when she has the urge to go. The first of this new phase was last week when she pooped in the bathtub & then flung it out of the tub. We told her that if she needed to go that we would get her out of the bath & put her on the potty. A few days later she was grunting in the tub so I put her on the potty, but no luck. I decided that I will start talking about it more, but still I don't want to push her, when she's ready it will happen. During the week there was a couple of times she said she had to go, but they were false alarms, or her being silly... who knows!
This morning she decided she needed to go, so Jeff put her on the potty & sure enough she actually went! I was a bit shocked after having heard those words before, but not having results. I still am not sure if it is the start of the process & if so how long it will drag out, but it does give me hope that I won't have 2 in diapers for very long.

COngrats! I also believe that the child has to be ready for potty training or its a waste of time. G pretty much potty trained herself!
Well, she seems pretty ready. Good luck with that. I am not looking forward to that challenge!
My friend said she just had her kid sit on their potty whenever she sat on hers and eventually it worked. Good luck!
