This is so true! I was laughing and put at ease to know its not just me. I have twins that are 2 and I just got them out of diapers. If its not one twin its the other that has to go potty. And my son has figured out that when its bedtime and he says potty then he can prolong going to bed even though he just used the potty.

Now I have to pee…! This post cracked me up!

My two girls are total opposites when it came to potty training. Both were still a tornado of “I gottaaaa gooo peeee” and “I’mmmm doooonnneee!”…

I still can’t get my six year old to handle all the situations on her own! My baby (age 3) won’t even tell me she’s going… she insists that she needs no help at all.

Big thanks to my in laws (sarcastic grin inserted here)… for pulling their car over and teaching my girls how to pee in the grass… Tader Jo mooned the whole town by peeing the front yard because “PaPa said it was okay”

Ah, you do speak the truth! The time between being in diapers 100% of the time to being 100% potty trained is just a big ol’ pain in the butt! Consistency is key, and I had a very hard time disciplining myself to being consistent. Somedays I’m still surprised that I managed to train Ava!

Okay, first let me just say that I love the photo of the Queen on her “throne.” That cracked me up!

Second, let me say that I definitely am not looking forward to potty training. I have a feeling that Petunia will either be really easy to train or really difficult. There’s rarely any middle ground where she’s concerned. I do, however, feel that we’ll hit every “milestone” you discussed. I’m also sure I’ll be reporting on each event on my blog when the time comes.

Regardless, thanks you for the warning!

LOL, love this post! While we didn’t have many of the issues that were listed, we are stuck at the “full undress”. Let me just say that this is not a fun one, especially when you are out in public.

I do have one more to add…it is called the “I Help” phase. It is where Sophia insists on helping me. She places her little hands on my knees just like I do with her. Again this is not a big deal (hey whatever it takes to get her trained) except in public, where she then proceeds to sing (LOUDLY) our “I did it song!” and exclain for all to hear what I “did”! Yeah…lets just say that we have hid many a times waiting for the restroom to clear out before I would emerge.

Ok, since you make is sound so fun, I’m no longer looking forward to this stage! I just thought something seemed so cute about a little person using a little potty…I guess there’s more to that - hahaha!

I am honestly dreading it. DREADING IT. The thing is, I know almost exactly when Cammie has to go. And I said today…Cams you need to do a stinky and 2 seconds later…she did. So, I am sure she could be trained early. The other one…mimi…you can’t even tell. What a dread of 2x the pee and poo. I will be happy to save the 40 bucks a week on diapers though!

After just finishing the potty training 2 of my 3, I found this quite amusing and oh so true. I still have one in diapers but the “readiness” you speak of is absent as of yet.

Good luck with the rest of your potty training!
