potty training resources?
I'm looking for some potty training resources and wondering if y'all have any suggestions? did you use a book, online websites, friends, etc? So far we bought Finn a potty and he will sit on it and go pee pee every night before his bath/shower but he's not too interested in it most of the other time throughout the day but he'll tell us when he's gone pee pee or poo poo in his diaper. anyway just want to make sure I know what I'm doing as we go through this stage!

I hope that helps!!
We got Carter a book. In the beginning we'd sit him on the potty before bath time and hoped that he would go. But it was more for him to get used to the idea. Then we got Pullups and made a SUPER HUGE deal out of them. How they were special underwear and we didn't want to pee or poop on whatever character was on them. After about a month of this, I realized that we just had to go to underwear cold turkey. The pullups are great, but there is not the consequence of sitting in poop or wet pants with pee running down your legs in your socks and shoes. Kids don't like this.
So we had a huge production, packing up all the pullups /diapers, and made a special trip to get big boy underwear. Elmo underwear, Thomas the Train undies, Big bird,....get him whatever he wants, b/c he won't want to ruin them. We had a few accidents in the beginning...more so b/c he didn't want to stop playing to go potty.
We still use pullups at night. He's dry 99.99% of the time, but every time I let him sleep in underwear, he wets the bed. Never does it if he wears his pullups at night. Go figure.
