I thought baby stuff was bad...

Then I dealt with PTing.  This will be the death of me.

Moral of the story:  don't do pull-ups.  No matter how convenient and cute.  Just don't.

I'm trying to retrain her that we don't pee in underwear just because it covers that area and goes on like a pullup.  Going commando she is a rockstar -- no accidents at all.  But the minute you slap some underwear on the kid, thick or thin, it is a vehicle for pee.  Oy vey.

This makes total sense to me!  What will you do in public?

PS..I can't wait for PT (ugh!)

And I've heard that girls are EASIER! 

I'm terrified of potty training!

Oh no! I've heard in the past that Pullups just make PTing harder. Ugh, I hope she figures it out soon.

We plan to start cloth diapering at 1 so that C will start making the association between the feeling of peeing and wetness. We're hoping that will help when it comes to PTing. Not looking forward to that process.

Good luck!  That is good to know about the pull ups.

I potty trained both my boys just wearing a long T-shirt & using a steam cleaner. Anything else just felt like it was safe for them to go in!  It only took about 3-5 days ; )

She actually does really well with me just holding her.  I have a travel potty seat but don't really feel like carting that everywhere.  I figure she's not going on public trips until PTed and even then I'll likely be bringing changes of clothes for a while.
