We have been potty training Gavin for 4 days and feel he's doing a great job. I purchased a (pdf) book online from ThePottyTrainer.com which gave me the confidence I needed to start training Gavin. He has done so well, having only 2 accidents. On the second day he even "pooped" in the potty. I feel like he's been ready to use the potty since before Olivia was born. Obviously we didn't want to start it with a new baby and a huge move in the immediate future. We have also been using bum genius cloth diapers for naps and night time. We call them his "night pants". It amazes me that kids this young really know what's going on with their bodies. We have been rewarding him with 1 treat (marshmallow, M&M, sucker) every time he goes on the potty. He wanted more treats so he'd go a little then get his treat. A few minutes later he'd say "pee pee" and run to the bathroom, sure enough he'd go a little more. We even went out side to play for a little over an hour. I put him in a diaper since there is no bathroom close by. We got back upstairs and put him onto the potty, I checked his diaper and it was dry. It's great to know he doesn't want to pee in his diaper. We hope this will continue to be a positive experience for him and us.
