taketheshot I felt the same way when Walt started showing signs of potty training readiness. "I'm not ready for this!" I had only potty trained in a classroom environment just like you. But it's really not that bad. We're struggling now with him being able to get his underwear down but otherwise he hasn't pooped in a diaper for over a month, wakes up from most naps dry, and goes to the bathroom as soon as he wakes in the morning. It's just a part of our lives now. Warning: your kid may like being naked a lot once they realize that's an option. 😂😂😂

Me too, girl. Me too. I have basically stopped putting her in it at home and we haven't really done things this week so we have almost stopped wearing it. I am going to try only putting her in it when we are out and about. I don't think she is ready for it but she kind of has to be because of preschool.

DS is not ready, and I'm not forcing the issue. We tried to with DD and it was a train wreck. when he shows interest we'll start.

I think P i ready. She hates having a wet or dirty diaper. She tells me as soon as it is wet or she's made a bm, or sometimes before (especially with bm's. "Mama, poo poo!") She practices sitting on the potty but its been hit or miss having her actually "go" on it, but I'm waiting until she's in the 2's room at daycare before we start seriously training, since they'll help (or from what I gather from some of you, do most of the training for us!) She'll move up to that room next month– can't wait!

coconutbacon, case in point. Dc has had C sitting on the toilet at least 3 times a day. I'd say my plan is working well.

We're pretty much dry for everything now (naps and nighttime) so that's awesome. We didn't plan on night training for awhile but he seems to have done it himself. Still having the occasional accident or a "pinch it off" one but for the most part he's doing really well. He still fights clothes though lol and underwear is my enemy.

Resurrecting for thoughts opinions or tips...
So 2 weeks ago, A took it upon herself to start peeing on the potty. Within a few days, her diaper was remaining dry throughout the day and doing most of her poop in the potty. Excellent! A week later, I felt confident putting her in underwear. So we did undies and for 4 days straight, she had numerous accidents on those days. I know accidents will happen, and that's fine, but I was more concerned about her not telling me if/when she had to go. She would say "messy" spread her legs and pee through her pants. So after 4 days of accidents, I decided to put her back in a diaper and still bring her to the potty every hour like we were doing (and having success with). So now the last 3 days, while wearing a diaper, she has again stayed dry and done all of her business in the potty. I would like to try underwear again but I'm nervous. I don't want her to back track again. Then I'm wondering if maybe she just doesn't feel the undies like she does a diaper and doesn't think she is wearing anything? So she just lets it fly? Ugh.. Idk.. Any advice or tips are more than welcome!

taketheshot, when in panties are you still taking her to the bathroom every hour like you do when in diapers? Have you tried panties on first then diapers over the panties? are you using normal panties or training panties? training panties are thicker.

C pee's and poops on the potty all the time at school. Refuses to at home. But he sits on the big potty and his little elmo potty all the time. And honestly, he just wants to run around the house naked.

And we are just doing regular undies, not training ones. I haven't tried the underwear first then diaper on top trick because I feel like that would be pointless.. Like if she has an accident, I will still have to clean the underwear but now that I'm thinking about it... Maybe doing it that way will get her used to the feeling of underwear against her skin..... Hmmmm....

@taketheshotgirl it's kind of throwing me that she is doing so well in diapers, so not sure what to tell you. But the method I followed advised to leave naked/bottoms with no underwear for at least a month before introducing underwear because undies increase accidents. I had to start her in undies earlier because she was starting preschool but I usually skip the underwear if she is wearing bike shorts or leggings and up until really recently she was always peeing a little in her underwear, but staying dry if naked or going commando.

Day 1 here. I started her off in training pants but she had 2 accidents right in a row, so now she's bare bottomed. She's peed in the like 10 times so far today 😳 Why is she peeing so much?!? Daycare and DH handled DS so I'm in the dark. She's proud of herself and gets a sticker each time; could she be doing it so much for stickers? 😂

She would do the tiniest little tinkles about 20 times a day (and get a candy every time). Now she's finally gotten used to peeing more and sitting on the potty less.

I'm hoping N does the same *crosses fingers*
