Adventures in Potty Training

My summer project is to potty train my two-year-old girl and three-year-old boy. The latest idea I've had is to have them sit on their little potties while I let them watch some TV. This is special treat for them, because I've become pretty particular about not watching TV during the day. I don't turn it off for any noble-I-think-it-rots-your-brain kind of reason, I just don't like the tone of the house with the TV on all day. It make me edgy to have it on all day (but I think I can make the sacrifice if the end result is potty trained little children!).

So, this is either genius or completely insane. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

And don't ask me why the two-year-old girl gets the big potty and the three-year-old boy gets the little potty. All I know is that seems to be the agreement between the two of them. Far be it from me to upset one of the few things my two-year-old and three-year-old can agree on.

[this is good]

Yay!!! This totally worked for me. This is exactly how I potty trained my now 13 year old and 9 year old. Now my 23 month old is potty training herself. My only other suggestion is to buy "themed" cotton undies and let them wear them and when they pee them, they will know, and not want to soil one of their favorite characters. If that happens, just say gently "oh no" then change into dry ones and the only reward I gave my kiddos was the praise and halleluja chorus from their momma when they make it. Best wishes to you!
