I wish I had some trick for all you potty training Mommies, but I don't know how it happened. One thing lead to another and next thing I know she's struttin around in her "big girl pants" and going in the potty. When they're ready, they're ready.
Ok...Maybe I have a few helpful ideas. They have worked for us at least. If you're not about bribing, this probably won't be your method:
-Take them potty ALL THE TIME! Before every meal and five minutes after a meal. Also, before you leave the house.
-If they have trouble with the oh-so-terrifying #2, make a big deal out of it. For #1 she get's a skittle, for #2 she gets to pick out of the "Prize bag". It's filled with things she doesn't normally get like really sugary drinks, potatoe chips and toys (Am I depriving my child?) The first time I tried to get her to do the doo doo, I said she would get chocolate cake. It worked like a charm.
-Always bring an extra pair of clothes and plastic bag when you go out. She's certainly had some accidents.
It's not down to perfect consistency yet, but she's got it!
