Hello, We’re not quite potty training but I do have a silly story to tell.
My daughter has just turned two. She has just started showing signs of being ready to potty train. We already use Pull UPs, just not during the day. We use them to go over a diaper when she sleeps because one diaper isn’t enough. She loves to put on her princess panties as she calls them. She can’t wait until she can wear them all the time.
We were in Albertsons doing our grocery shopping and she was lagging behind looking at stuff and I was getting ready to get in line to check out and I beckon her to come on, we’re getting ready to pay and go. She stops in the middle of the ilse and yells “pee pee” and starts squirming from the middle. I have never taken her to the bathroom before. I’m just staring at her in shock, and wondering what do I do? I’m also thinking, I hope people don’t think I’m a bad mom because I don’t run her to the bathroom. She has a diaper on, she’ll be ok. So clearly it is time to consider potty training. This girl is ready.

Having troubles potty training? Check out my book, Stress-Free Potty Training, for help. Written with Dr. Pete Stavinoha, a pediatric neuropsychologist at Children’s Medical Center Dallas, because we believe successful potty-training starts with understanding a child’s individual personality. Stress-Free Potty Training, offers thoughtful planning and effective communication techniques to help parents tailor their training techniques and avoid stress during this major milestone of their child’s life. http://www.stressfreepottytraining.com

A comical story about potty training… My son Gabriel just turned 2 in February but he has started to show the signs of being ready for the “Potty”. The funnies thing I’ve seen him do is run off in another room (always running off in another room for this act) he takes off his pants, then his diaper and runs around butt naked saying pee pee. I look for his pants and his diaper and find that every time he throws both in the trash, sometimes he will actually hide all of his pants (he knows where I keep his clothes). He knows I throw his soiled/dirty diapers in the trash but not his pants… We go through this quite often throughout the day, even when I’ve attempted to keep a pull up on him, the same thing he’d rather run free. He’ll pee before going to the potty but then sits down waiting for something to come out, but at least he’s getting the concept of it. His potty sings so he dances and its just soo funny to see.
I’m also adding the information you e-mailed me today but I’d be interested in blogging about this on my blog along with a contest!

I have a comical one that would embarrass my daughter. She was a clever one. I had her in training pants and we had a sandbox for her outside the kitchen window so I could watch her. We also had a dog named Tico. While I was doing dishes I watched her remove her training pants shake out the bowel movement and then redress. She came inside and with big eyes said ” Tico bad boy. He potty in box” Pretty smart even then huh? She’s a lawyer today.
Thanks for having the wonderful giveaway

My poor son Seth has struggled with potty training for a year now. He’s terrified of pooping in the potty! So suffice it to say, his thoughts are turned towards this predicament, and he likes to share his predicament with strangers:
Ok, so Seth is at the stage where he likes to tell every detail of his life, no matter how incriminating, to anyone! This usually leaves me with my face in my hands and a long explanation to a stranger. For example, at the science center:
A mom was sitting watching her children play in the large play-rugged-area and happens to compliment Seth’s frog boots (which are pretty sweet I must say) as we walk in.
Seth smiles, “My poop is too big for my diapers.”
“What!?!” I’m thinking to myself. Where’s the connection, where’s the train of thought. Frog boots, poop, I don’t see it. So needless to say, much embarrassment and a bewildered stranger. She was very kind; and gave me a lot of potty training tips that I had already heard before.
The link above relates another joyous story of potty training.

i don’t have a story yet, because we are still not quite ready to potty train. but i do have triplets, and potty training 3 at once…what could be scarier than that?!?!

I was freaked out about potty training my 3 year old son but it went much better than I thought. Until we left the house. We were out at the store and I was thinking how great it was not to have to carry diapers around any more when I looked down at him and he was peeing in the middle of the isle at the store. There I was with no diaper bag or change of clothes and my son standing in a HUGE pee pool. Live and learn and I should have put him in Pull Ups.

This centralized group should understand both sides of NERC compliance—regulatory and operational—and coordination between the centralized group and the operating business units is vital.
