Boot camp potty training- link to instructions

mrshutch

Hi ladies-

well, we're on Day 3 of the potty training and it's still going great. Here's an idea of today's schedule, and I found the link (pasted at bottom) for the blog where our day care found the instructions. I DID NOT buy a whole bunch of little potties to put around the house. We used her regular potty in the bathroom and our regular toilet downstairs. I also didn't wait to leave the house until she'd gone 10 times, it was probably about 7. Additionally, she has a Sesame Street sticker chart, and she usually asks for a sticker afterward, so I give her one. I noticed that sometimes she forgets about it, though (there's a note about "bribing" kids in the article). DD has been wearing pants only, no diapers, pull-ups, or undies, except for sleeping.

8:15 a.m. DD was wiped from yesterday and woke up late. Sat on the potty first thing, sat for a couple of minutes before peeing. When getting dressed, she said, "No diaper, 'kay, Mommy?" I said, "Right. Diapers are just for sleeping. Big girls go potty." I've been saying this each morning and after nap times.

9:30 a.m. Told DD to sit on potty before leaving to meet up for playdate at a coffe house/play space. She peed in the potty.

10:05 Arrived at coffee place. Took DD to ladies room. She wanted to wait for me to pee in front of her and she went afterward.

11:30 Leaving coffee place: knew DD really needed to go because she was "holding herself". Went quickly to the ladies room and she peed on the potty.

11:50 Stopped by McDonald's on the way home. About 1/2 way through lunch she said "Pee-pee in the potty, Mommy." Finished lunch and as we got up she said she had to go again. She peed both times.

1:10 p.m. Had to stop by Sprint store and she said she needed to go. Begged manager to let us use the employee restroom- no problem, and she peed. 

1:45 Sat her down on the potty to pee before nap time. Put diaper on for sleeping.

Sounds like she is doing awesome and getting it.  Congrats.  My older DD has been trained for about 6 months and I can always tell when she has to go as she holds her butt.  It is so funny to watch her walk down the hall to the bathroom holding her butt!  Its a perfect sign for me though.

Oh, I know- at one point today I wondered about any issues w/ DD holding herself, but I figured that'll only last for so long before she outgrows it

Thank you so much for sharing!  DH and I had already set aside Sept. 6-8th to do PT'ing with DS.  We were planning on using the 3 day method so in addition to your link I think we should have success.

Thanks again!
