I'm a big kid now

With the brilliant bribe of prunes layed out in front of him, Ben sat on his potty for a full 45 minutes this morning while watching TV. Nothing happened, and so I asked him if he wanted his diaper back on. He said, "No. Ben sit on potty. Mama sit with you." So I sat next to him for the last 10 minutes of his show. And sure enough, he peed ( Read more... )

Most excellent! I've been contemplating having some nekkid days here to get the ball rolling but I'm not certain she's ready yet. B and I agreed if she's not showing interest before her birthday that we'll try and start her when she turns two.

We aren't sure if we want to tackle potty or sleep first, though. I think we'll work on getting her out of our bed first so she's not wetting our bed (no matter how much I'd like a new mattress). ;)

Yay, Ben!! Keep up the good work! :)

even my friend Kelly's completely and perfectly trained 3-year-old still wears a diaper at night. they put it on him after he falls asleep, for "just in case."

is she in your bed full time? do you want to know what we've done with Ben thusfar, or is that too much butting in?

Not butting in at all. :) I can't remember who's been asked and who hasn't any more. I'd love to know. :)

well, at age 18 months, we put a twin mattress on the floor in our room. we put ben to sleep in his own bed and then when he woke at night, he would climb up to nurse and sleep the rest of the night with us. (he usually slept to 11 p.m. or midnight ( ... )

That's similar to what we've done without the extra mattress. I've been putting her to bed in our bed, but we've been going to sleep in the guest room most nights (pillows and comforter in there are better and mattress is a nice break from ours). We've been trying to decide if we want to bother with rails in that room or not (she used to crawl all over the bed while sleeping) and start putting her to bed in there so she's sleeping in a different room. We have a toddler bed for her but never use it because she won't go to sleep without nursing first ( ... )
