With all my kids, 1 year marks the age that the potty seat comes out and the fun begins. I never expect them to be potty trained in a week, but we sit and make a huge fuss for months and months, so that by the time they are actually ready- they are used to the whole routine. My goal is to have them trained by at least 2 if not sooner, so I have 10 more months. I'm huge into rewarding super behavior, so every time she sits down she gets a chocolate chip! I know it was completely by chance, but she actually went potty while she was sitting there. After she realized there was a connection between sitting for a minute and getting a chocolate chip- she wanted to do it over and over (isn't that the whole point? Love it! Marshmallows work great too!) I say, whatever works!
Brigitte handed me her poop the other night. HANDED IT TO ME!!!! I have tried several times (with candy bars even!) to reward the good efforts. But She just wont comply! She pees on the floor. She takes her diapers off and hides them. She even hides her potty lid. ANd did I mention shes 2 1/2!!!!
