At 19 months Alison thought she was a big shot and wanted to use the big girl potty. I was thrilled, but less than thrilled to put in the effort to actually train her. She actually would go #1 & #2 though and I was proud of my little munchkin.
Over time Alison no longer wants anything to do with it. I have officially missed my window of opportunity!! Now she says she wants to go, but sits down and gets up 2 seconds later. She knows their is a treat waiting for her if she actually goes but she won't do it. Last night I decided to put the seat on our toilet in hopes of something "different". So far she sits a long time on it, but still won't "go". I have prizes for her if she goes #2 and I have her occasionally in training pants that have Dora on them. She knows she shouldn't potty on Dora so I'm hoping this will work. I'm giving her lots to drink as well. Being a working mom, this is very hard to stay consistent. Any suggestions??

Oh Kori, I can't believe she did it at 16 months!! I seriously don't think Matthew will be ready in 3 months, but I guess you never know :-) There's a book out some people in my small group were talking about and it might be called potty training in a day...I'll find out for you. Apparently it works and they're trained in a day and it has something to do with doritos? Stay tuned :-)
Thanks Keely...give him a couple more months cause it was 19...still early in my book though. I wasn't quite ready for it yet.
