thank you for all the ideas. We are trying the panties. she did pee on the floor but stopped when she realized nothing was catching the pee. We finished on the potty. We also did the potty song and once she was wiped up we did the dance.:flowerforyou:

It's funny this was brought up b/c I've been think about starting to potty train my son. He is only 18 months right now but smart as a whip! He tells us when he has to poop but I'm not so sure he would know when to tell us about his peepee. I am pregnant right now and am due right around my son's 2nd birthday. The thought of having him potty trained so I don't have two in diapers makes me want to cry (HAPPY TEARS!). My family thinks I'm crazy to try to train an 18 month old. My questions are:

How early is too early?

I've heard boys are harder than girls, is that true? Or is it just up to each individual kid?

Thanks! :flowerforyou:

I don't think its too early if he's telling you he has to go! Usually they pee on the potty before they poop but all kids are different so you never know! I started potty training when I was 16-18 months old. My parents had my older sister using it and I just started copying her. Everyone is different, if he's ready he's ready. Just be patient with him, might take awhile to get it perfect. :flowerforyou:

This has been a reoccurring thing with my 2 1/2 year old son. All I can say is mom you need to keep your patience ( i am sure you do!), I know it is frustrating as heck!! We keep a small box of his fave books next to his potty and just let him chill there on his potty..naked..with books. Eventually something comes out!:happy: He was potty trained for a few weeks and then decided to go in his pants...that just confused the crap outta me. I guess it is just really up to the child. We just gotta wait and be patience til our lil ones are truly ready. Funny thing my son actually peed in the toilet today..then peed on my bed! So ya..lol maybe my advice isn't helpful!!:laugh: A good incentive is to buy her a few of her fave character panties and not open them until the accidents stop. After him pooping in so many that I have had to toss I decided this. He really wants to wear his Power Ranger undies. Any how good luck!
