Potty Training
So today i decided was the big day to begin potty training, Jared isn't sure why i think it needs to be so soon, but i cant quite explain it to him either. Makayla is really a smarty and for the past month or so she tells me that she's gone #2 after the fact, so that's supposedly a sign that they might be ready. This morning i went to walmart and picked up a whole bunch of panties (including Cinderella ones, very important) and now i have her potty in the living room since we spend most of time there. During naps and at night i'll just have her in a diaper. I may go get some m&ms because she loves chocolate and use it as a bribe. One of the main reasons why i'm starting so soon is because in 6 months i wont have the time to watch her every move and train her with a baby here. And if i can avoid having 2 kids in diapers i will certainly try. Since its summer its not too cold to let her run around in panties and a t-shirt. So if you know of any great tips i'm happy to hear them, all in all if she decides that it is just not time for her i wont press it and i'll try again later but hopefully she'll give it her best shot.

Good luck! Supposedly girls are easier to train than boys and you can start younger. I just potty trained my son and we used the book "Toilet Training in Less Than A Day." I totally recommend it. It definitely took longer than a day, but within less than a week he had it down.
Wow you are starting soon, but it's a good thing! I don't know how to potty train, but I heard from my friend that you let them stay in their undies all day, even if they don't quite yet grasp the concept. Don't ask them if they have to go potty, maybe once or twice isn't too bad, and don't tell them "no" they don't want to hear it. Always try to reward them, just so they know you aren't mad. Good luck!!!
