  Re: ~Who is starting to use....?~ Reply Contact  Not yet. Maybe soon. Though she really isn't showing any signs of being ready! I am sooo ready to quit cleaning up dirty diapers though, its totally disgusting now!  But Adria is really random with her toileting habits, I really would have no idea when to even encourage her to go potty for number 2. She also seems totally oblivious to it when it happens, rarely does she tell me. My 6yr old was 2 yrs 8mths when she potty trained herself in about two weeks. So I guess if its going to be that easy I'm willing to wait.. maybe! I will be changing two lots of diapers soon, for the first time in my mommyhood!

  Re: ~Who is starting to use....?~ Reply Contact I have tried a few times to put Kaelin on the potty, but she just doesn't seem to know what to do when she's on there.  I have only got her to go 3 times and I get all excited that she's ready, but then she doesn't do it again for days.  I am so sick of diapers, but what is really making me mad is that she likes to be naked when we're home and I'm sick and tired of cleaning up pee spots out of the carpet.  It's soooo frustrating.  And we're tried everything to keep that diaper on.......the only thing left would be to duct tape it, but I'm not sure I'm willing to go that far ;P

  Re: ~Who is starting to use....?~ Reply Contact I have been doing pretty good with Sean. He hit a milestone the other week with running to the potty before peeing on the floor. I have been letting him run around naked at home. He will pee a little bit on the floor and go running towards the bathroom shouting, "Potty! Potty! Potty!" It is cute. He understands what needs to happen, but we're still working on it. He doesn't let me know he needs to potty if he is in his diaper 'cause he doesn't see it. We're still on the very beginning stages, so it's coming along slowly though. It will definitely be something I will shout for when I stop buying diapers!

I don't want a newly pt'd 2 year old and a new baby, so I'm fine with waiting on this one. My older dd was 2 1/2 before she was going pee on the toilet, and over 3 before she was completely done. I'm in no hurry.

  Re: ~Who is starting to use....?~ Reply Contact Just this last week Kaelin has decided that she is ready to use the potty.  She has really been potty training herself.  We have a potty in the living room and whenever she has to go she just goes and sits all by herself.  There have only been a couple of accidents in the last week.  She has totally amazed me!  She hasn't quite got pooping on the potty yet, but I'm definitely not going to complain at this point.  The only thing now is that I have tons of diapers and she only wears one if we go out and at nap times and bed time, so 2-3 per day.  I guess I'll just save them for the next baby.

  Re: ~Who is starting to use....?~ Reply Contact I've been potty training Lindsey the past two weeks and she's about 90% there.  The only current problems is some of her outfits she can't/won't get off by herself and she won't go potty anywhere but our house.  Starting to train too early can be very frustrating, so I strongly suggest to wait until she is ready and not do it because you're ready for her to be trained.
