I am thinking about starting to introduce it to Loreli...I know she is young but it is worth a shot...I just need to get a mickey mouse potty seat and we will be golden!!!

PT. The absolute HARDEST thing I have had to endure yet. I'm not an expert nor have much advice except to stick with it (whatever you do) I think all kids are different.

We do big boy underoos at home & Pull Ups when we leave the nest. For real, having accidents in public is not a hassle I want to go through. And PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE. Luke runs around the house for a half hour screaming "I did it. I did it. Woooohooooo" every.single.time he goes on the big boy potty.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

I don't know how much help I will be considering that Keegan was 3 when he finally got potty trained....

One thing that I did learn was that you can't push it or force it on them. I think we introduced Keegan to the potty around the same time & he would go back & forth with being interested in it. Everyone that had boys would always tell me that they will do it when they are ready & it usually happens around 3....both were true with Keegan. He is still kinda young to really get the hang of it but you never know he could pick it up right away!

Oh....and don't waste your $ on pull ups, they do the same exact thing as a diaper & it won't prevent him from not wanting to pee in his pants.

He'll sit on the potty, but then like 5 seconds later he's running around crazy....zero patience!
