Potty training boot camp- DAY 1

Laurie and I started our adventure today..and I do mean adventure! We started off wearing pull ups and trying to sit on the potty and use it every hour or hour and a half. My method did not work well because Laurie peeped more on the floor than in the potty!! She actually had taken her pull up off and peeped before we made it to the potty.
I believe that my strategy will change for tommorrow...I am going to buy Laurie some training pants and use those instead of pull ups (since we went through about 6 of them just this morning)and really give her my undivided attention.

We will give you an update of our progress (hopefully) tommorrow.

Potty Training book saved my Sanity!!
________________________________________
Men’s Health Magazine (Sept. issue) recommends Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day: Proven Secrets of the Potty Pro by Teri Crane. My husband picked us up a copy after reading the article. IT REALLY WORKS!!

Everyone is talking about throwing a "potty party" to potty train a child. I was so desperate; I was willing to do anything. Her book outlines 10 themed parties. What kid doesn't love to play and pretend? All my mommy friends have successfully potty trained their kids with her book too.

Honestly, when I first learned of this book, I thought NO WAY! Maybe this would work on a little girl, but NOT a BOSSY, 2-1/2 year old BOY. NO WAY! Guess what? It REALLY WORKED!!! Teri Crane SAVED MY SANITY!!! Her book was easy to read, funny and extremely helpful. I can't thank Teri enough. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to EVERY parent. It will save you much grief and frustration. Potty training shouldn't be difficult, we as parents make it difficult because we don't know what to do. Teri teaches you. Buy the book, it's the best money you will ever spend

Most amazingly, I had some questions, so I called the author, and she CALLED ME BACK!!
