Hi L., my name is M., I am a 31 yr old with 2 kids, 1 girl, 1 boy. My daughter is the oldest and quite frankly I had no ideal on how to even begin potty training her. She was showing signs so one day just out of the blue I said " Sissy, mommy's going to beat you to the potty and took off running down the hall, naturally I got into the brm first so as soon as she got in there I acted really hyper trying to get my pants down telling her " mommy's gotta go potty really bad, when she saw me doing that she ripped her diaper off and jumped up to the pot and when she did that I laughed and told her "silly girl you beat me". Truthfully, I never had to buy another diaper again, we used pullups for bed and I had her completley trained before her 2nd bday. I think that it took me a total of 2 maybe 3 days and that was the end of it. I personally think that you should try this if you haven't already, it worked for us and hopefully it will for you as well.
P.S. Make sure that you have one of the little toilet seats on the toilet and a stool in front of it before you decide to do this. Good Luck!!
