You deserve another star in your crown. We picked last weekend to give it a try. Three day weekend, my husband (Tod) and I both off. It seemed the perfect weekend to get Russ over the last hurtle of potty training. We had to get over the pull-ups for everyone’s sanity. Russ was 37 months old and partially trained. He would use the potty at daycare but not at home for Mommy and Daddy. As the weekend approached we read the book. We got things ready. Then plans started to change as Russ’s rookie league baseball practice was moved to Sat. So the weekend was going to start off with baseball.

Day 1-2 were a lot of work - I caught a stomach bug on top of it.

Day 3 one accident first thing in the morning and the rest of the day we had a big boy. Night 3 dry.

Day 4 we were going through our normal routine of getting up, dress vitamins and out the door for breakfast at school (daycare). Russ has been getting up on his own and I usually tell him to get his cloths and come into my room and dress while am fixing my hair etc. and I noticed he brought clean underwear and I asked if he had wet the ones we put on fresh before he went to bed and he said no and then announced he had to go to the potty. Ever since then, he has been going on his own, which makes it 3 days and 2 nights with out an accident. It is official for me He is potty trained.

I know if have some other issues like using public bathrooms so I might still have some questions but now I know who to ask.

Thank you for the extra push to get this hurdle completed

Respectfully,
ReGina, Tod and of course Russ

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that by the middle of the second day I was ready to give up at that point my mother called and said to stay with it for the three days. That afternoon it started to click. My son indicated that he needed to go to the washroom for both poop and pee. He has decided that yew, ick is the signal its time to go. He woke up dry from his nap and on the second night he only wet the bed once- mainly because I did not wake up therefore my fault. It is the start of day three and he woke up dry this morning after his one accident at night. He has not had an accident yet and he has been up for 3-4 hours, yes he has peed already at his choosing. This is great.

A few questions:

My son seems to squirt in his underpants and typically goes to the washroom but does not pee in the potty. Is this normal and what can be done to rectify this actionn?

There are times when he wants to go to the washroom and just play on the toilet. Lifting the seat sitting down, then getting off putting on the potty ring and sitting back down, then getting off and taking off the potty ring and then sitting on the toilet. Sometimes this activity continues until he starts to leak at which time he settles and releases. Is this a problem or what can be done to change this behavior.

Do I need to be concerned about this issues or is normal behavior for a 22 month old boy?

Thank you for your time

Hello, Lora

Thanks for the e-mails. I was looking for birthday party themes and I checked out some products for vanessa’s birthday.

I would also like to mention that I began training vanessa on friday and everything went very well for the first day! She enjoyed using the potty in fact she wanted to do it every minute! Especially when she got rewards but it seemed like she wanted to trick me into giving her treats and so she didn’t want me in the bathroom, she kept closing the door on me and then came back out telling me that she had gone pipi and cryed and cryed for a treat which of course I ignored it. My problem is getting her to use the potty at night when she’s asleep, she wets her sheets like two or three times throughout the night and I never give her any drinks before putting her to bed. But I’m so happy about how far she’s gone in those three days! It’s amazing. Thank You So Much! I’m so excited!

Hi Lora,

I have ran into a little bit of a problem Im hoping you can help me with. My son is potty trained now and has done very well. We have few accidents but He is now using I have to potty as an excuse for everything he doesn ‘t want to do. If he doesn’t want to go to bed he will tell me 3 of 4 times he has to go potty and he will go sit on the potty but do absolutely nothing. If he doesn’t want to pick up his toys he does the same thing. Its like he has found this to be a good excuse to get out of everything he doesn’t want to do. Would be wonderful if you had any suggestions for me. Thanks.

P.S. I was amazed at how fast I was able to potty train him with few accidents with help from your book. Thank you so much. I wasn’t sure it was ever going to happen, lol. I was losing hope every time I tried he wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. I kept stopping and waiting a while and trying again. I only wish I would have found your book sooner. Thank you so much.

Hello-

Before I purchase the 2nd ebook. My children 11mths old and 35 mnths old boys are in daycare until 9:15pm. I don’t get home until 15 till 10pm. They wants snacks..etc…and never seem to go to bed. I see the program says 8pm. They always wake up after being in the car…so how would this work for late night moms?

BTW..

The potty training ebook.. AWESOME!!! I’ve had no accidents for 1 1/2 mths… he loves to go potty. I can brag to the people who doubted and they are jealous. He is not even 3 and he is more potty trained then half of the 3 yr olds in his class.

Thanks
Asia
