Unfortunately I can’t spend all weekend doing speculation posts about the President’s health because we are potty training until Monday night, which if you think about it is much worse than death.

We took PTO and the 3 day intensive method and it worked like a charm. Kiddo loved it because we let them run around naked for 3 days while following them around making sure there was a training potty close by. Highly recommend this method over trying to stretch it out over longer periods.

Roll up those rugs! When S was potty training, we got to a point where he could do it, but only without underpants. So we went to a birthday party for his friend. It was in the park. I saw him toddle slightly up a hill and then drop a deuce out the side of his shorts.

I hope (George - but also Lizzie while we’re at it) you have not had to read Oh Crap which is moderately helpful but so rooted in the idea that only a stay at home mom would do the training that it’s a real slog to read.

Portable potty next to them at all times and them not wearing pants helps reduce the time from I have to pee to pee in the potty. Best of luck. We had hardwood so it wasn’t too bad, god forgive those with carpet

Mine was three and a half before we could get him to show any real interest outside of school (where they had a tiny potty) but flip side, bc he was older, he got the hang of it immediately with no real regression. It happens eventually for everyone!
