Is there such a thing as a perfect time to potty train a child?
I'm gonna say "no" to that...
However, there are two areas Jason and I feel need to be covered before the potty training process can begin in order to make it a much easier time :
1) when the child shows signs of readiness, and, 2) when the parents are mentally ready, with mindset to follow through until the end.
Of course, no matter when you decide to start, potty training is always going to be a "big event" for both the child and the parents, requiring lots of extra effort put forth by everybody involved.
Well, we're as ready as ever --let's go for it, Lia!
Day 1 (8/15/12):
Lia made about 6 attempts to use the toilet, 1 successful poop on the toilet (yay!), and only 2 accidents. It was a very good day! Aside from putting up a fight for not wanting to wear the underwear, Lia did well with the 5 hours we worked on potty training. The rest of our day was filled with running errands and a visit to one of the grandparents' house, so we chose to diaper her during those times.
