One down, one to go!

We officially have only one child in diapers. Nate was a rockstar and pulled a dry bed on his first night without a diaper.

I officially swear by this method of potty-training: wait until your kid is BEGGING you to use the potty, then wait another 2 weeks, and then "let" them. To get them out of diapers during naps, wait until they're adamant about not wanting to use a diaper, then make them use it for another 2 weeks, and then "let" them go without. Ditto for night-time diapers.

This has been the easiest process! Laziness wins the day!

I needed to read this. I am feeling "potty training peer pressure." I have not really started yet - but the looks I get when someone asks "HOw's potty training going?" and I say "Well we haven't really started yet..." Geez. I am going to forward this entry to my Mom too. She's feeling the same way I am...NOT ready...and since she is the daycare provider, she's onboard with me!

I know very few adults who wet themselves, so I'm pretty sure these things will take care of themselves with a little help. When your kid is ready to try, they'll let you know. I think Eliza was 3 or so before she really took an interest in it. I started doing my "Hooray" song for her whenver she went in the potty and she really liked that. It was pretty quick and painless. It'll happen, no worries. Good luck!
