It sounds so weird now but that was super fun when i was like 7 or 8. I even remember me and my friend missy on each side of the toilet with "baby alive" if anyone remembers that awesome doll! We dropped the baby in the toilet and argued over who should fish it out. EWWW TOILET WATER!! heeheehee. I like sharing weird childhood memories cuz I aint got no weird little kids to talk about yet.

That is exciting and great news for everyone involved. I did wonder how Trixie would feel about this site when she grows older...how she might react. Heh. :) Congrats on the almost fully potty trained status! That is exciting and great news for everyone involved.

You are totally not going to leave me hangin' with the whole potty-training thing. I know Trixie's not Rachel's not Colum's not Aiden's not... But still. The Wife and I have NO IDEA how to go about this, and I've been coming off as a parenting *genius* by cribbing off TTU for other stuff. (MHW doesn't read the site.) I'm raising my hand for a potty-training story or two. Think, at least, of the embarassment potential when Trixie brings home her fiance. How much better than naked baby pictures is the whole, "well, back in 2005 about 50,000 people read about the first day you went without diapers." If the guy can handle it, it's really love. --FD Oh NO WAY. You are totally not going to leave me hangin’ with the whole potty-training thing.

Another thing, pull-ups can be a deterrent to potty training, rather than a help. Just like diapers, they keep the wetness away from the kid's skin. When the child doesn't feel wet, they have no motivation to prevent it from happening again. When my kids were ready, we went to the thick cotton training pants during awake hours, and only used pull-ups for sleeping. Also, when they had an accident, I would have them take off their own bottoms and put on fresh ones. As a reward for good potty habits, we would make a trip to the store for the cute cartoon character underwear. When the potty habits weren't so good, then we would take those away and go back to the training pants. All of my kids were trained (during the daytime at least) by three. You'll find that night-time potty training is another challenge in and of itself. Good luck to you all!

It's such a sweet-sounding mantra - he really sounds like he'll miss the toilet's contents terribly until he runs into them next time.
