Any parents here with potty trained kids care to share your method?

I'm really not looking forward to it but the little girl is now almost 26 months and I think she's ready.. I'm all for the shortest training period as long as it works.
They key is to wait until they are ready, not when you want them to be and make it fun for them (bribes etc ). They need to go constantly at first.

That works with dogs, not so much with kids

Does school end soon? Man traffic sucks so bad I have little desire to drive the S. I know I'm getting old when I prefer driving the minivan over the S..
Loudoun let out yesterday. I think Fairfax is June 23rd.


I haven't touched my S2000 in two or three weeks.
I secretly run into you garage and hug your car, then I run off without you noticing.

My imaginary kid is coming out of the womb at age 5. already talking and potty trained. None of this trying to figure out what is wrong I have a wife for that.

Which leads to the question of when are they ready? She's started pulling off her diaper herself/refusing to be changed at times, which kind of seems like a hint to me. Did you do a "condensed" potty training regiment (like train your daughter over a long weekend or week) or was it a more gradual approach?

Ha.. women these days are much more "independent" and the good ole days of the husband not lifting a finger are over. My wife hates when I say she's better at changing diapers than me, but it's the truth. Generations of practice mean genetically they are better than men.

Not sure where you went with that, but that was not the highway I was taking.
