Wait until she is really ready and it is a snap. All of my big boys did it on their own and we never looked back. <BR/>However as a mom who has been changing diapers for 8 years...I feel your pain!!<BR/>Hang in there!The Mom behind the Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795515857958994651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29783525.post-17743650637350897352008-08-13T17:11:00.000-05:002008-08-13T17:11:00.000-05:00I dreaded potty training as well.

My pediatricians advice which I loved was if you start too soon you'll be frustrated for a long time or if you wait till their closer to 3 you'll get it done in a week. Waiting worked for us and took much less time!

Be sure that you have some kind of snack that is salty or sweet so that she will keep drinking during the heavy (stay at home) potty training time. Also, we took a potty with us everywhere we went in the back of the truck. That way if that moment arose in which she did have to go in the car, we were prepared and we could pull off the road right then and there. Also, be sure to emphasize the question "are you dry?" instead of do you have to go potty? That way it makes her accountable for making sure her panties are dry. Call me anytime and I will help. I meant to tell you that if you need me to keep Ellen for a day, I can. That way you can spend one on one time with Nora.

Just know that I am convinced it isn't YOU ( the parent) or your specific tactics. They are either ready or they aren't. Rare is the child that falls out of that category. Just my two cents. I am dreading Landon already! Hey, HE is wearing size 4's!!! How funny! Hope it is a wonderfully successful week!

Addie wanted to be in big girl panties at 2 and it took her forever. I agree...diapers are sooo much easier! Don't stress and know that she won't go to kindergarten in diapers, right?? I will call you soon. <BR/>Love you, Leslie :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29783525.post-29642188525132653342008-08-13T08:53:00.000-05:002008-08-13T08:53:00.000-05:00WHat is the book?
