Hi,

My potty training tips. Get so big boy undies, ones he picks out (Ben, was Thomas the Train, Tim was Bob the Builder).

Put them on, Tell him he doesn't want to get them icky, or wet... Might help. It took a long time. We used pull-ups because that's what daycare said we had to do. I think just going to undies and cleaning them up is easier.

Well my little boy is 2 years and 2 months, and shows basically no readiness signs at all...so we are not going down that bridge just yet...but here is the advice everyone in the bejesus seems to be giving me...

My next door neighbor says that when you live in our warm climate and in the middle of nowhere you should let your boy child run buck naked outside for a solid two weeks and since they can see the "stream" and "poop" they will learn and understand....my interpretation of this is how in the heck do you keep your child from being sunburnt, oh and do you clean them off with a hose also????

A girlfriend of two boys told me not to even start until he turns 3. I didn't care for this advice either. She started pull-ups at 2.5 and used them for 1/2 year before even starting to potty train...this seems expensive.

The last bit of advice from my mother and mother-in-law is just to stick with it and not get too upset when they make mistakes.

Oh I also heard a good reward is one m&m everytime they are successful on the potty...this works especially well when the child doesn't normally get candy.

That is all I've got....Good Luck! Make sure to keep us up to date on how it goes...maybe I will learn some magic trick when it is my turn to train my little one!!!

I have no idea, but I heard blue food coloring does wonders in the potty. Apparently it is fun for little boys to turn the potty green! :) Good Luck!
