After day one of potty training:

“If you partake in alcohol, please have some wine at the end of this day. It is also acceptable to have wine in your cereal when potty training. You deserve it.”

Yep. 💩
This is happening soon!
Preparation research is in full effect!!
Any advice welcomed 😂

ravenlee Good luck! Be prepared for emergencies anytime you‘re out (like, pack a full change of clothes for the kid and possibly yourself - you might think you‘ll just need a change of pants but not always!), take it one day at a time, and know that you can do it! Keep your sense of humor about it all, too. I used to sing Let It Go to my kiddo on the potty 😂 5y
julesG What @ravenlee said. 5y
BookNAround My advice is bribery. LOL! Matchbox cars were a treasured commodity here for the boys. My daughter was excited by the chance to wear pretty underwear. 5y

brittanyreads @ravenlee @julesG @BookNAround Thank you all for the kind advice! 5y
julesG Right, bribery. We had a chart where the kid put a sticker on every time it went well. Collect five (later ten) stickers to get a small gift. Matchbox cars, hair clips, crayons in "crazy" colours,... 5y
brittanyreads @julesG May have to try stickers! My little guy loves them! 5y

There are some helpful tips and methods, but the narrative struggles between a guide book and reference book. It‘s very repetitive, only occasionally on purpose, and every explanation of ‘why‘ boils down to ‘because I‘ve done this a lot‘. Which is fine, but also somewhat hollow after a while. Lastly, mom reader assumption is especially irritating. She acknowledges this problem, but clearly can‘t be bothered to edit it out in subsequent editions.

How can it already be time to think about potty training?!

AkashaVampie How old is ur little one? Mine just turned 2. I'm trying to get it started slowly! Haha 5y
Librarylady3 Turning two in September! This book recommended training between 20 and 30 months old. I am not ready to start just yet but doing the research so that I will be ready. 5y

A quick read & I appreciated a lot of Glowacki's logic & common sense. Her potty training advice has proved spot-on, & my daughter has demonstrated so many of the behaviors Glowacki discusses. On the other hand, the author's writing is incredibly repetitive & her personality drove me crazy. She plays it off as humor, but her attitude was aggravating & borderline offensive at times. So short version: a fan of the method but not the attitude.

readingjedi The Pied Piper of Poop ?!? 🤣🤣🤣 5y
jmtrivera @readingjedi Oh, yeah. Some of the humor is on point.👍 5y

Oh dear. What is going on with my carefully cultivated Goodreads shelves?!? So many zeroes that shouldn't be zeroes 😨 a negative one! So confused. Anybody else have this going on? #mommyreads #goodreads

ReadingSusan Yes that happened last night but this morning it was fine. Hopefully just a glitch? 7y
mrozzz My read books is still at 0 @ReadingSusan 7y
TK-421 This happened to me too! All shelves are 0s except a couple with a puzzling -1! When I go into the shelves, the books are there, it's just that the numbers are messed up. I hope they fix it soon! 7y

ohyeahthatgirl I did panic just a little. My books seem to be there, but still says 0. 7y
Bookzombie Mine is also showing zeros. ☹️ 7y
alanacristin @mrozzz @TK-421 @ohyeahthatgirl @Bookzombie I'm glad to know it's not just my account! I couldn't find info online. Hopefully it's in the process of getting fixed given @ReadingSusan 's news! Thanks 😊 i don't organize there as well as i used to but after so many years of doing it, i can't imagine if it all disappeared 😖 7y
ReadingSusan I saw a post on twitter saying Goodreads is aware of the problem, it‘s just a glitch, nothing is lost and they are fixing it. 7y
alanacristin @ReadingSusan bless you! 👼 that's great news! 7y

MarriedtoMrT Good luck!🍀 7y
bookelf221 @MarriedtoMrT thanks!! We've been trying to guess if she's ready and my gut says she is, so I'm librarian-ing it up and researching before we begin 7y
MarriedtoMrT @bookelf221 There are a lot of good strategies out there! I bet you‘ll get a vibe from her when you start. I had one that was super easy and one that wanted to stay a baby until the bitter end. 😏 7y

#moose doesn't know it yet, but this is her last weekend in diapers. We used this book when potty training #goose and it was invaluable! What tricks, tips, or reading suggestions do you #parentsofLitsy have?
#raisingreaders #momlife

Yes, she is playing with a pen. She wants to "write" and pretends she's making important notes ??

LornaDH Isla loves her tie-dye underwear. She used to want me to hold her hand, but now she vants to be alone. 8y
Reviewsbylola My daughter is 3 at the end of the month and has been VERY opposed to PT. If you ask her to use the potty, she yells and refuses. I got her to go last weekend and then put panties on her and haven't looked back since. She doesn't get it 100% but I'm amazed at how well she is doing. She is even out of diapers at nap time. 8y
Reviewsbylola She uses a little potty so if I want her and her old sister to go potty I tell them to go have a pee pee race. 😂They run to the bath room and race each other. It's quite entertaining. 8y

rachelm @Reviewsbylola I'm stealing the race idea!! That will be perfect for getting ready for car trips! 8y
Reviewsbylola My husband told me today that I'm a genius for thinking of that. 😂 Both my kids are huge complainers when I force them to go potty. It's not a huge deal with my 4 yo because she can at least tell me when she has to go, but my 2 yo hasn't quite mastered that yet. 8y
Bks4Wrms For my twins I kept a special toy in the bathroom that they were only allowed to play with when sitting on the potty. I also had a special tiara and wand they wore while on the potty (potty princesses). I also had a reward sticker chart. 8y
Bks4Wrms If they went #1 a set number of consecutive times they got to pick out a small toy from the store. If they went #2 a set number of consecutive times they got a bigger toy from the store. 8y

"Shell, at least I pooped in the bathroom, Shell. That's progress."

MicheleinPhilly @LagerthaShieldMaiden I had high hopes that it would be an accident free day but alas, it was not to be. It was a good, 12 hour run. 😉 8y
MicheleinPhilly @cathysaid @LeahBergen @AlaMich She was actually really sorry. She gave me this face like, "I know you've taken me out back every 15 minutes for the last hour but I really had to go. I sorry!" 8y
AlaMich Plus, that face. 8y
Joybishoptx Sweet puppy. She'll get the hang of it! 8y
ValerieAndBooks Aww. How old is she though? 8y
Cinfhen That's why God gave them such adorable faces🐶 8y
MicheleinPhilly @ValerieAndBooks She's anywhere from 4 to 6 months old. To her credit, she was found as a stray 😔 so the world was previously her bathroom. ☺ 8y

I'd recommend reading this book if you're a parent, even if you're not potty training. Jamie has a great tone and attitude. She's firm but positive and encouraging, practical and also optimistic. She's just cool. And she's got some great parenting insights that go way beyond potty training. (Choices WITHIN boundaries...what? You mean there's a nice middle ground that's the best place to be?) Good stuff. And really enjoyable reading.

We'll be staying at my parents' place for 3 weeks before our new home is move-in ready. My mom suggested that we take advantage of that transition time and potty train the kid. I'm scared 😨

But yes, this book was used by our friend to potty train their daughter - and we may end up using it very soon 😆 #toddler #toddlerlife #mommylife #pottytraining

bookishkai Adding to my to read stack. My nanny kid is almost 3 and not even close to trained, and I suspect all of us adults are too scared of her tantrums over it to push too hard. 8y
