Lots of diluted Gatorade or Crystal Light. On the potty every 10-15 minutes. AND THE KICKER? NO diaper at night! My mom said, "If you're gonna do it, then do it." YIKES! But, it pretty much worked.

When she would ask for a diaper or dance around, we sat on the potty. We stayed there for a long time. We read, snacked, and drank while on the potty. At the end of the week, that was that. But for two? Pshk. No idea. I would, however, recommend peach schnaaps with warm cider.EMomhttp://midwestmamalogue.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-39184296032130898562012-08-14T02:57:07.072+01:002012-08-14T02:57:07.072+01:00Oh my gosh.

Now she asks to sit on the toilet all the time - "I need to pee" - then tries to convince me that something happened - and then expects a candy. She often tells me when she is going in her diaper, and is distressed about it at times (other times announces it quite happily to her brothers), but hasn't quite figured out how to hold it and get to a toilet. Part of me doesn't care, but when she is soaking through her first diaper of the day (what is it with morning? Ack) more often than not, I can't help a little sense of urgency to get on with things...Joyhttp://joyandgeoffsplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-4789056377939958912012-08-13T20:02:02.680+01:002012-08-13T20:02:02.680+01:00Heh.

But then she caught on to the big idea and started going to the potty and on the potty. That being said, three weeks in I still have to put her on the potty at regular intervals to avoid accidents, as opposed to waiting for her to bring it up.<br /><br />I found Elmo's potty time movie to be quite motivational, if your kids are into Elmo. <br /><br />Good luck and drink up - you deserve it.Alissabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798080610942849427noreply@blogger.com
