So I have decided I am finished with diapers for a while. They are expensive and not very fun to clean up. I am a little worried that Erik might be a little young, but I can't help but think about stories from my Mother of children potty trained at 18 months. Erik is about 22 months so he should be capable right? I have been on the potty training express for 2 1/2 days now and it's going pretty good. We have had several successes and even a few self motivated potty times. This morning Erik said "Poo Poos" and I sat him down on the potty and he took care of business! Yes! Maybe this will work out after all!
Oh! BTW-I think I found a solution for out of the house potty training... I hate pull ups because I feel like it confuses the kid and makes it really easy to have an accident so I tried just putting rubber underwear over his training underwear when we are out of the house. And I think it is going to work because he still gets the consequence of wet underwear, but I don't have to deal with wet clothes! I just bring a couple extra pairs of underwear with me just in case. Oh! and I always keep one of those pet waste bag dispenser thingys with me to contain wet underwear or dirty diapers. Who says you have to use them for your pet?

Ugh! Cindy I don't want to even think about having to train Sophia. She is 21 months but it's such a chore. I agree that pull ups just make kids digress. I'll have to try the plastic cover, that's a good idea. Good luck!!
The plastic cover has been working great! It works the best with the training underwear though. A little extra padding to soak up wetness.
:).. Good luck with the potty training! :)! I can't believe Erik will be 2 next month! Where did time go?!
Erik is a potty prodigy! Go Erik...in the potty!
