Re: Potty Training Experience
I am also in the thick of PTing. She does well and stays dry throughout the day but seems uncomfortable pooping in the toilet (she has actually ASKED for a diaper before) and she cannot hold her urine all night. We do the sticker method. She gets two stickers every time she goes potty. One for the chart and one for her hand (b/c she REALLY wanted one and her delayed gratification is not a strong suit for a toddler). Once she gets 10 she gets to pick out a toy. A great tip a friend gave me was to keep a little potty in my car. I have a cheap one from Ikea that is easy to clean.http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70141228 My friend uses a bucket. Sometimes bathrooms are difficult to find so I just have her go in her potty and clean it out with wipes.
ETA: for T the smaller potty seats that fit on the regular toilet work best (and no cleaning for me so I am not complaining). We have one upstairs and one downstairs (she picked them out) and a stool in front of both toilets.
