Potty training


Aaron is potty trained. I have always been a big fan of early potty training. Less power struggle, Fewer diapers to buy- or wash, It takes a week and pays off for a year. This time around, I didn't have a week to give and it was easier for all of us to let Aaron remain in diapers. (He'll be 3 in November) We talked about it alot though and praised him for efforts. On Sunday, he used the potty all day (while in pull ups). On Monday, he did the same thing and even got his first "poo poo" in the potty. By Tuesday he was fully in underpants (except for night time). Here's his expression at Monday's poo poo success. Priceless.

That is priceless! And look, you didn't even need a week!

When you say "early" potty training, what does that mean? Maybe a better way to phrase that is: what can I aim for? :)

My others were potty trained at within a few months of their second birthdays. I decided when they were ready and taught them how to use the toilet by letting them go bare bottomed with a long shirt for a week and staying very close to the potty chair. I consider that early. Nicole's were trained at 2 also. There are pros and cons to both ways. Either way, it's good to have a plan!
