Just the mere thought of potty training two toddlers, and everything that goes along with it was enough to make want to run far, far away!! After months of doing lots of reading up on all the different techniques and approaches, I finally decided to give it a serious go last week.
We went with the straight to panties technique, with an M&M reward for making it happen. The first day was hit or miss, but as time progressed Kylee was really starting to get the hang of it, whereas Kaylyn could care less. A week later, the same is true. Kaylyn just has absolutely no interest at all, but that is fine. It will happen in good time. Hopefully that time is sometime before she starts college! :D
Kylee on the other hand is doing incredibly well! She pee's and poops on the potty successfully, and accidents are becoming almost nonexistent! She puts herself on the potty, and can pull her panties up and down all by herself. We even attempted letting her wear panties for the 90 minute drive from Alpine to Temecula, and when we arrived home she was still dry!
So one down, and one to go!! As much as I feared this whole Potty Training endeavor, it has proved to not be nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

That's really good news!!
I've been dragging my feet about potty training for awhile just because it seems overwhelming. We've started sitting them on their little potty someone gave them, and they like it, but no results yet. They like riding the potty around the living room, lol!
Glad it wasn't as bad as you feared! That's the benefit of waiting till THEY are ready! Addisyn is doing great, but still has a hard time with the poopies--some days in the potty, others in the diaper (she wears them for sleeping), but only one accident since we started this whole endeavor.
That's great Karen!! Amazingly Pooping hasn't been a problem here!
I think it's going to be a bit longer until Kaylyn is ready. She is so not interested in Potty Training at all, yet she refuses to wear a diaper either (because Kylee doesn't wear one now) so it makes for a lot of messes! UGH!! Hopefully she get's on this PT train sooner rather than later!
Yay for Kylee! What a big girl. Good for you Mommy! Can you imagine no diapers??? WHOO HOO! I wish I could count the days, but I have no idea how long mine will take!! :-0
