Let me hear your potty training success stories

We started PTing Friday, we aren't really using any methods, persay.  DS is wearing underwear, if he has accidents we change his clothes and move on if he goes on the potty we celebrate and he gets some kind of treat.

He's pretty good at holding it, like I can take him places in his underwear and he doesn't have accidents.  And at home if he's naked he runs right in and pees on the potty by himself.  If he's wearing underwear he will sometimes drip a little then make it to the potty and a few times he's had all out accidents.  All poops have been on the potty (which is great!).

All this to say, I defnintely want to stick with it, but I want to have realistic expectations.  How long did it take your child to really get the hang of it, to where accidents were pretty rare (once a day or less).  Any advice?  I can't leave him naked all the time! haha

    Wow - it sounds like he's doing great!  I would say we've been working on PT with DS1 since the beginning of the year.  We tried just underwear first but that was a disaster so we did pullups.  He goes to DC so that was a big help b/c they really work on it in his room.  A few months ago, he started wearing underwear all the time (even during naps, but not overnight) and we are down to maybe 1 or 2 accidents per week?  He's recently started pooping on the potty almost all the time too, even while we're out.  He wakes up dry 98% of the time so we *may* move to underwear at night soon... we'll see!  I'd say the whole process has taken us less than 6 months to get where we're at now which if I had to quantify, I'd say he's 90% potty trained.

    ETA:  I have no advice b/c it sounds like things are progressing well!  It sounds like your next step is to have him in underwear at home, rather than naked and see how it goes?

    DD told us she was done w diapers in late feb.  we did 3dpt and day 1 and 2 were naked and no accidents.  as soon as we did undies she started having them.  i wanted to quit several times in the first 2 weeks.  but then suddenly it got better and she has had a total of maybe 15 accidents since march- and a lot of times they were grouped together like 2 or 3 in a row.  we started doing a sticker chart- end of the day if no accidents got a sticker, so many stickers = a small prize.  we recently dropped the nap pull up and shes doing well with that.  not sure when we will drop the night one because she is a tiny girl and sleeps 12 hrs - wakes up wet at least half the time.  so overall shes done much better than my expectations- i definitely wanted to quit a few times and it was so stressful for me for a little while.
