I modified it a bit to better fit (I thought) training two at the same time. I did not do everything exactly as she said, although I am not really convinced that even if I had that N would be trained. Both boys did an excellent job during the actual three days of training and, by the end of it, they were both using the potty very well. I probably did not follow through quite as well as I should have either after the three days were up.<BR/><BR/>This may very well rank up there at the tippity top on the list of things do not like to do - potty training.Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255669366828707855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21143156.post-19177568500319317382009-01-09T11:36:00.000-08:002009-01-09T11:36:00.000-08:00Thanks Sue, that is very helpful.

I'll have to tell my husband about your story because he is asking if I am going to do the three day thing again and I'm thinking it won't help N but I could be wrong. I don't know what to do but waiting until it is the right time for him sounds good to me.Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255669366828707855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21143156.post-64171943580620954052009-01-09T05:37:00.000-08:002009-01-09T05:37:00.000-08:00whatever happened to that 3 day potty training? di...whatever happened to that 3 day potty training? did you email her lateley and tell her it has been months and you want your money back? lol.

I wasn't in a hurry, because I have a bad back and didn't want to be lifting them onto public toilets all the time when we were out. (also, I hated cleaning out those little potty seats at home!)<BR/><BR/>After spending several months practicing (using the toilet, but<BR/>still wearing pullups), we did a "potty bootcamp" weekend, where we stayed home and did nothing but play games and use the potty all weekend. I told them that as soon as they had dry pullups for seven days straight, they would get some really cool undewear, and seven days later, my daughter had her underwear. (and she never had a single accident, day or night, for<BR/>two years after that).<BR/><BR/>When she got her underwear, my son kind of lost interest in the whole thing, and I didn't push it. (I think it was partly a competition thing, and partly that he really wasn't physically ready.) More than a year later (!) he still was wetting his pullups, and I finally decided to just put underwear on him (he doesn't like to be wet). That seemed to do the trick, but he was 4-1/2 by then! Even now (he just turned 6), I still carry spare clothes (including socks), because he occasionally has accidents when he is under stress.<BR/><BR/>So, I guess I'm trying to say that your N (my son is also named N) will do it when he's ready, and <BR/>it will go a lot more smoothly if you let him pick the time.<BR/><BR/>Sue BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
