Potty training triplets while working full time has been one of the hardest things I've had to do as a mom. I've tried several times with no real success. They haven't really been physically ready. It's no fun to take them to the potty every 20 minutes and have them pee in their pants 30 seconds after they leave the bathroom.So we've had many starts and stops. Today I get to report that Tyler has
cricket … cricket … things have been a little quiet around here lately.

By far the most common question that we receive around here is about potty training puppies. Many times the puppy or dog is mostly potty trained but they still have the occasional “accident” in the house.
What to do?
Well, so long as your puppy can still smell the “spot” he may continue to [...]
Letting a child older than 30 months soil and wet herself several times a day is an insult to the child’s intelligence.
Actually, it is easier to train a child at 20 months than it is to wait much past the child’s second birthday.
Ask yourself: Is it easier to house-train a 6-month-old puppy or a 1-year-old [...]
We have ventured into the scary world of potty training. For the past several mornings Lani has woken up dry. Today I decided to put her in "big girl undies" and see what she could do. I wasn't super strict because I didn't want to stress her too much on the first day. She never went in the potty, but she was good about sitting. Of course, the chocolate chip treat helped. (They were the dairy free
I haven’t written about potty-training in awhile. Because whenever I write or talk about something my child has done that really excites me, they never do it again.
At one time, I was able to put an infant Benjamin down in his crib, still mildly awake. When he fussed, all I had to do was pat [...]
Just when you think you are making headway with potty training the realization starts to creep in that no matter what you try, and no matter how much you want something for your child, sometimes things just don’t happen the way you want.

It is with serious dread and trepidation that I am here to inform you that potty training commences tomorrow.

Ok...so the time has come...the dreaded potty training...SIGHShould you skip the toddler potty and go straight to using the adult toilet? And if you do use a toddler potty - where do you find one and which one should you get? Ahhh, the joys of motherhood or fatherhood for this matter! We certainly don't have the answers....but if you do decide to use a toddler potty - we've got a couple in mind.Al

I hate potty training, Matt was three and a bit before we finally got down to business and it was a battle. Once again we are in the midst of a battle, I really thought it would be easier the second time, I'm not sure if it's me or the child but the lines have been drawn. Probably not the best approach, I just think that potty training should be a one day thing. You explain to the child this is
Potty training was Alleke's idea. She came streaking through the apartment, dripping from her inflatable swimming pool in the kitchen. I watched her hop like a dolphin with her knees together and disappear into the bathroom.
"Potty," she yelled, and I bolted out of my chair.
She sat on her potty and kicked her legs while I sat on the edge of the tub–not sure if I was supposed to do something
Potty training can be extremely frustrating for both the parents and child, and if you have been paying attention you will know we are teetering on the edge of insanity with Eli.

When F has been using her potty I have been giving her a treat. Today she said she had to go poopy, I helped her off with her trainers and she went pee pee on the potty. I gave her a cookie.

I don't know how much longer I can take this whole potty training business. Every time Elle has a wet diaper there is crying, whining, yelling and stomping around.

It's only 9:30 in the morning and he's already cried twice today about Elle having wet diapers. I'm trying to remind El

I haven’t kept up with the daily diary of my son’s potty training progress, but I will say he is doing a tiny bit worse this week. Is that normal? I mean, he’s still in underwear all day long and even took a 3 hour nap, in underwear, and woke up dry! It’s just that [...]

No accidents today!!
However, not to boast too much, when Jax fell asleep at nap time, I did put a pull-up on him and he definitely needed it. He did not wake up dry.
We were out and about all day and must have used public toilets like 5 or 6 times. It was quite interesting to [...]
It’s been a good day! Jax slept wonderfully and woke up at 7:30 a.m, went potty and we got his underwear on. He only had one accident, around 5:00 p.m. and I know it’s because he was exhausted and was having a tantrum/crying fit. I made nothing of it and he went on the potty [...]
I guess I should not have gotten so excited yesterday because today it’s just like PTing never happened. We had a very rough night so I’m trying to chalk up my son’s complete lack of interest to not feeling well.
No nap yesterday, so naturally Jax was exhausted by bed time. I managed to keep him [...]
Yesterday went great! Jax stayed in underwear until his bath, then I put him in a diaper and jammies for bedtime. This morning at 6:15 he came in my room and said “I made a poop”. So I woke up and we went into his room to change his diaper, then we went back to [...]
Having a two and a half year old is TIRING. The constant chatter, the 'mommy, he'p me?'s, all the energy... I've been limiting the amount of sleep he gets. I wake him at 7:30 in the morning and only let him sleep for an hour in the afternoon so this is probably why I'm feeling the strain lately. But sleeptimes were getting to be too much for me otherwise. Does anyone else do this? Elliot tri

From a Place Called "I-K-E-A"Today, my Pop-Pop and Grammy went to a store called "I-K-E-A" and they took me along for the ride. I usually like the places they take me to but, when we got to this store, it just didn't look like the kind of place where I could have any fun. Boy, was I wrong!After we walked around in the store for a while, we found a play area just for kids called "SMALAND". I got really excited about it, only to find out that I couldn't stay and play because I'm not "potty trained". What a bummer! I tried to explain that I'm working on the "potty thing" and I just need a little more time but, it didn't seem to matter to anyone. You either knew how to use the "pot" or you didn't. Needless to say, I was quite upset.We continued to walk around in the store and just when I thoug

But as I soon found out, kids come in all kinds of varieties and you just have to adjust the training based on their personality.For instance, some toddlers don’t want Elmo to cry every time they go poop in their pants; in my daughter’s case, she wanted to see Elmo cry.

We have begun our fourth (or is it fifth?) round of attempts to potty train. Molly has begun to show intermittent interest in the potty, and annoyance at her diapers. We had one successful run to the potty yesterday, and were hoping to have repeat success by going into the bathroom just about every hour. No success, and by the end of the day she was annoyed with the potty. We're not giving up this time, though. She's smart enough and almost 3...we'll get it, I'm sure of it! If for no other reason than because she'll be thrilled to know that if she learns to go on the potty her shoes won't have to come off ALL DAY...until she gets changed into pajamas *lol**On a potty side note...I've had to begin taping Kennedy up like I used to do with Molly. Her diaper, that is. Even with her PJ's on backwards. She plays with the diaper through the sleeper until it's loose and halfway down her legs. Not a problem I ever had with Molly. *sigh* On a good note, though...because Moll
While we adore our pet dog so much, so we also wish we can maintain clean surroundings and fresh-smelling homes. But oftentimes, especially if we have a new pet dog taken in, we would have to worry about cleaning after our dogs with their poop as well as pee. Until you feel that you had enough, and decided that you will take on the task of giving it some potty training yourself to provide solution to the problem.
But how does one go about potty training his pet dog? Believe it or not, it can be a rather easy task – albeit you would mainly have to need more perseverance and dedication. Of course, you would also have to commit yourself to giving potting training one hundred percent; otherwise all your efforts will go for naught. Remember, your dog will likely need a lot of time learning where the appropriate place in for it to defecate and urinate, so be patient for any non-reaction or negative responses from your dog during its training.
An effective way of potty training is by pra
The way things have been going there’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll have the first Jr. high kid EVER that hasn't been potty trained.Recently some friends gave me a dvd called “Potty Power” that did wonders for their 2.5 year-old. She watched it a few times and like magic was “instantly” using the toilet like a 67 year-old running into the house after a visit to Hometown Buffet.The video is actually quite good. The songs are so catchy that I often find myself singing them in boring meetings at work (“no more diapers for me…yeah, yeah…”)Unlike other potty videos, kids actually use the toilet in it - imagine that! All while singing, dancing around, yelling “Potty Power” with their arms in the air like Che Guevara revolutionaries.... it's all very exciting.So exciting

Once you bring your little puppy home, there are several questions in the back of your mind that may trouble you, like what steps do you take concerning potty training puppies.You should remember that bringing home a young dog is like bringing home a baby. It is completely helpless and dependent on you. So the same way your child can give you sleepless nights, you can be sure that he can too! But you will never regret getting it home because it will fill it with love and happiness.You will be happy to know that potty training your pup is not all that difficult. Here are some tips and techniques of puppy potty training that really work.1) First buy a kennel or a play pen. Be sure that it's big enough for him to grow into, but not too big.2) Use puppy pads to line the kennel or play pen. The play pen should provide enough room for the bedding, as well as the puppy pads. But since a kennel will be a little smaller, your new pet may find it a little difficult to adjust in the beginning. D
This is posted by Adum.Finally, someone appreciates me. As Sarah has mentioned a time or two, we are in middle of the painful process of potty training our two year old, Penelope. In spite of our best laid plans, we have returned to rewarding her with "potty candy" for her success. A few days ago, Penelope saw me eating a piece of candy, and I witnessed one of those rare moments where she had a flash of inspiration, and everything clicked for her. "Oh, potty candy. Daddy, did you go to the potty?"I must admit I wasn't expecting that, but since Penny doesn't get candy unless she uses the bathroom, and I didn't want to set a bad example, I said "um, yes,"(which wasn't a lie, in the strictest sense, since I am sure I had at some point that day, and I don't recall having any "accidents.")I watched in amazement as Penny's previous look of inspiration morphed into utmost admiration. She smiled and gave me a huge hug and said "Oh, Daddy. I am so proud of you."It's nice to be appreci

Cass has always enjoyed playing with baby dolls. In fact all of the girls still enjoy playing mommy with their special dollies from time to time. I would have thought that the older girls would have made the transition from newborn infant baby dolls funky fashion dress-up dolls, but they still will engage with the little one in the occasional pretend diaper changing and bottlefeeding (Cass still pretends to breast-feed her babies by asking if baby wants ninny! Who on earth did she get that term from? It's my grandmother's word that I've tried to get past but Cass latched onto it with the vigor of the obsessed!For practice and basic childcare they all prefer are the realistic looking baby dolls.

I had a super duper busy and messy day. This week, Clayton has started potty training at school. He messed up 2 days and yesterday was fine, today was the worse. I had to spend half hour washing his soiled clothes and shoes and just when I thought that I could rest, I saw a puddle on the floor. I talked to him, reminded him about the bathroom and potty but half hour later, there was another puddle. I was mad. I had to cleaned twice and that was frustrating! Plus, DH was away for his Asia Sales Congress these few days.Well, that was not the end of the mess. I checked the clock and thought I would take him to the bathroom an hour later. But lo and behold, when I came downstairs, there was another puddle -I wanted to scream!!!I know I should be stressed over this and it isn't fair to expect him to learn this overnight. Patience is what I need and yes, I should continue to press on. Anyone moms or dads has any tips to share on potty training?
It has been awhile since I have talked about Potty Training, and since I am facing this dilemma with my now 2 1/2 year old, I thought it would be a great time to bring it up. Last year I wrote about Potty Training here, and listed some great tips. Since I have started with my dear little one (note the sarcasm) I decided to read my own advice.
There are some interesting ideas about Potty training. The most recent phenomenon is the “diaper-free” movement. The Associated Press wrote an interesting article about it Here is a little of the article:
Dominic is a product of a growing “diaper-free” movement founded on the belief that babies are born with an instinctive ability to signal when they have to answer nature’s call. Parents who practice the so-called “elimination communication” learn to read their children’s body language to help them recognize the need, and they mimic the sounds that a child associates with the bathroom.

Do you know what time it is? Yes, today is Day 1 of potty training our last child. I have mixed feelings about this... I am soooo not in the mood to train another child to use the potty. Not up for following around a 2 year old in her...
Since I've been writing a bit (obsessively) about potty training, someone from Huggies contacted me and asked if she could send me some samples of Pull-Ups Training Pants. I was thrilled, because I have used training pants throughout my potty training experience. I've always used them at night and naptime (especially since Kyle is still in a crib), but I also use them when we are going to be in
I wasn't going to buy Crocs. But I did, first for my daughter, who "needed some" because they were cool and comfortable and she had to have a strap on the heel for recess. Then I decided to get some for my son, once I saw how they withstood dirt and water and all the things that kids get into when playing outdoors. He loves them. So much so that for the first few nights he slept in them.

I am SO tired of cleaning up poop. Seriously. I’m just over it. I mean, I knew potty training twins would be a challenge - particularly when one of them is autistic - but for goodness sake, can I catch a break over here? Pretty please? FIVE. That’s how many poop accidents I cleaned up today. FIVE! I know I can blame a good deal of that on the greasy dinner we ate last night and the apple juice they had for breakfast, but still…I’m so annoyed with my children! It’s like they’re pooping as a hobby!
I actually THREW AWAY Elmo and Wiggles underpants today, because I was just over it. And as if the poop weren’t enough - when we were getting ready for baths, one of the little girls peed on the carpet! Oh, what a mistake it was getting carpet in the bathrooms. Yeah, it’s nice and warm and quiet, but YUCK. I can’t imagine how much of my kids’ DNA is lingering in those nylon fibers! We’re definitely going to have to look into r
Sorry for the lack of updates. I like to post at least once a week, but have just been too exhausted too. Hopefully some energy will return in the next few weeks.Anyways, my son's potty training is coming along fairly well. We're taking it very slowly. I was actually planning to wait until early June when he's actually 2 1/2 to get started. Suprisingly enough, one day a few weeks ago, out of the blue, he said potty, went out on to the deck and completely stripped. Shirt, pants, diaper, socks, everything. Then he peed on the deck. I let him go, just to see what he was doing. It was interesting. For the next several days, he kept doing the same thing a couple of times a day. This time he used his potty I brought out on the deck. Unfortunately, the weather cooled off and he quit going. The weather did warm up a few days ago and he peed on the deck in his potty again. He's also been interested in going on the toilet, but hasn't succeeded yet. I think in a couple weeks, he'll definite
Yes, I know that you've been checking in wondering why I haven't reported about Kyle's progress learning to use the potty. I think we've been at it for three weeks. It's going fine. I'm still more potty trained than him. He tells me when he has to go. . . after he's already wet. But that's progress, right?
I wanted to share the bane of a potty training mom, in case you haven't been in my
Spring is here again. It's about time; I'm at the point where if I don't get out of the house soon I may need to be Baker Acted because I'm a danger to myself or others. Spring does mean ticks here in Missouri though and I've already had my first run-in. Lucky for me I have a tick specialist in my house. Last year my son decided to educate himself about all sorts of ticks and the reaction you will have if you get bit. He decided to do this after he got his first tick. Being from the East coast of Florida, you don't see too many ticks. I don't think they like the beach as much as they like the woods. Anyway, last year my son got a tick attached to his hip and started screaming for me to come and kill the spider that was stuck on him. When I told him it wasn't a spider but a tick, he turned ashen white, started crying, and feared for his life. I wasn't quite sure what to do either. The only run-in I'd ever had with a tick was a few years ago when one attached itself to my torto
Wow - things are looking SOOO much brighter on the potty training front! I’m so glad I didn’t give up and put Pablo in pullups!
Last night, after I put the kids to bed, I went back downstairs to do a little quick cleanup of the kitchen and living room. I hate coming downstairs in the morning to pure freakin’ chaos, right from the get-go, so I like to get all the toys picked up and thrown back into the playroom and get the pillows back on the couch and make sure we don’t have dirty dishes in the sink and all that. Anyway. I’d only been downstairs about 2 minutes when I heard some sort of commotion through the baby monitor. I turned it up and could hear Pablo hollering a word, but I couldn’t understand him. Yeah, he’s talking, but not necessarily in English. Hehe! It’s okay; we’ll take what we can get. So I dashed upstairs and headed into Pablo and Mallory’s bedroom, and Mallory said, “Mama! Pablo has to go potty!” H
Well, we’re up and down. Pablo will stay dry for a long time, and he knows what to do in the bathroom - he’s the one who initiated the whole “standing up to pee” thing that’s been doing for a few days - but I’m still pretty discouraged. I find him damp again and again, and he doesn’t even seem to realize that he’s wet or that he’s gone pee in his undies. The workshop I attended a month or so ago that focused on potty training kids with special needs emphasized one major point: where autistic children are concerned, successful potty training doesn’t mean immediately giving up diapers! I’m completely understanding that now. I’m not sure that Pablo feels the sensation that he needs to go pee. I think he dribbles a little at a time and doesn’t notice it. And I’m guessing that I’ve just had remarkably good timing when it comes to getting him to pee in the toilet - he just happens to need to relieve him
We are trying to potty train Mini Buff. But it’s not working. My mom (and others) have told me that it takes time and not to rush it. They’ve also said, “Wait till they’re ready.” I ask you. How does a child know they’re ready to sit and poop in a potty? I guess maybe they do but I’ve never seen that.
We bought him a potty. And it’s a nifty stool for when he brushes his teeth too. But that’s all he uses it for. When I try to get him on the potty, he screams and runs. He also screams and runs when he sees a poop. But maybe he is too young. Maybe we should wait until he’s three? Or four? I don’t know!! I guess I’ll wait. /end emo rant
U’oh …. I smell trouble here! Oh wait …. I just did a poo! Haha! But seriously folks, there have been talk of another ambitious project by the powers that be, ie. Mummy and Daddy, to potty train me. I heard that it involves a potty (obviously) much like this one:
Potty with built-in toilet paper dispenser, as seen on Babygadget
I’ve heard some of my fellow toddies have started potty training even earlier than me and are already well-versed with the intricacies of using such a device. I admire them for being so brave because I’ve also heard that during this so-called training period, one is supposed to go without nappies.
What?!? No nappies?? But what if I have an, you know …. “accident” and I have poo all over my pants? Oh dear! Someone would have to clean up the mess I guess. I’ve been prone to some poo-related “accidents”. Pee-related ones too.
I think that scares some parents, doesn’t it? This fear of “ac

As a parent, you've learned a lot while your child moved from being an infant, to crawling, to the mobile stage of an active toddler. Now that they are older, and able to understand simple directions and associations, you're working towards the goal of “no more diapers”. You'll get lots ...
