Oh the joys of potty training. We’ve tried the whole leaving the room thing, but Emily’s big statement right now is that she’s still a baby and when she gets bigger she’ll go on the potty. I just encourage her that she’s already a big girl and that she CAN go on the potty. Maybe we should have a BIG GIRL day.

[...] #2!!! Can you tell I’m excited? (For a very long winded post on our rather unorthodox method, click here.) I’m sure we’ll still have some accidents, but it sure is nice to be over the major [...]

I appreciate this post! Surprisingly Noah has taken to potty training early (crazy right?). He started asking to sit on it in April (we’ve had the potty in the bathroom for months so he would get used to the idea). He’s been going #1 in the potty every time I put him on it for the past two weeks. We’ve even had a couple incidents of #2 – WOW! I’m not sure if any of this is going to stick though – I honestly wonder if it’s just a phase (he’s not quite two yet). Anyways – my point…. Noah almost always refuses to go potty if I’m in the room. It’s only when I walk away that he goes. He even will try to shut the bathroom door at times (we figured this out when I left him in their alone to get his crying sister). Justin & I laugh and just say he likes his privacy!

Totally… after I walked away and it worked, I thought, “why didn’t I know that was the right move?” It seems so obvious and definitely a lesson to take into the coming years.

I appreciate your sharing! We aren’t there yet – but everything with Baby Z has been a battle – bottle to cup – warm to RT – smooth to chunky food – dry finger foods to wet- etc…! I especially like the part about just walking away while big J was on the potty. You are right – he then had no one to resist!!! Definitely helpful advice. Thanks again.
