I do a day of it too and usually try to do that on a Saturday or Sunday so my hubby can take the older kids out and I can focus on just potty training. And I'm with you. We wait until they are good and ready so that it only takes a couple of days before they 'get' it for daytime training!<br /><br />Once mostly trained, I do a sticker each day for no accidents with rewards like icecream, a trip to the park of their choice, etc.<br /><br />We've also done 'poop' treats since that has been the last thing to get trained in our home. They have a basket with a couple of dollar tree toys. He will earn one for each time he goes poop in the potty. If he poops in underwear, he loses all of the new toys and must earn them back again.<br /><br />I seriously dislike the process and am VERY hopeful that girls are easier than boys. ;)Heather@Cultivated Liveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141323325746602171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352096510576317777.post-31911914738567756492012-03-16T15:34:06.863-07:002012-03-16T15:34:06.863-07:00You are so smart to wait for readiness. My oldest...You are so smart to wait for readiness. My oldest was tough in this department, and now I think it was because of undiagnosed food sensitivities. Also I think I missed a "readiness window" because we were moving. Second (boy) was easier. Third potty trained herself. Fourth...I honestly don't remember. And I am gearing up for #5 too! I guess I don't have any special technique; it seems that when they are ready it's just pretty easy.Stephaniehttp://www.revivingmotherhood.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
