We Have the Potties…
In all honesty, I never expected to begin potty training before Tiny and Buba turned 2. I’m not sure why, but I guess I assumed that potty training happened sometime after 2 and before turning 3. But I’ve heard more than once, and from more than one person, that Tiny seems to be ready to begin the process. And strangely enough, I feel like I’m in a place where I’m ready to give it a go. We’ve got the potties and training pants are on the way. But other than having the supplies, I’m really not sure how this is supposed to go.
So, I guess I’m looking for advice regarding the whole potty training experience. In particular, I’m just not sure how to introduce the potty and teach Tiny (and perhaps Buba too, although he doesn’t appear as ready as she does) what its purpose is. How will I get her to understand that that is where I want her to do her business instead of in the diaper? And how do I get her to have successful experiences on the potty?
And then there are the worries to address. For example, I’ve heard once you stop diapers, you should never go back, but what about naps and nighttime? Tiny is not even close to the smallest pull-up size, so won’t we have to continue to use diapers for naps and nighttime?
I suppose there are parenting books out there that address this process, and perhaps that is where I should begin. But in the meantime, if you’ve done it and you have a book recommendation and/or advice to pass along, I’ll gladly take it.
