Potty training

Why we think it is time to start potty training:

Bin's new habit is to wake up, go potty in her diaper and then pull her pants and diaper off. She then goes over to the changing pad and lies down, waiting for us to change her. Of course, since she wakes up before us and is very silent, this has not been working as well as it might sound. She also takes off her wet diapers immediately. Which is why, even though she is a bit young for potty training, we are thinking we need to start.

So, we went and bought a book on potty training. They recommend a very slow plan for potty training- which with Bin being only 26 months, might be a good thing. Our doctor said 30 months for potty training, as did the book and most of my friends. The idea is to ease them in and work on the whole mental side. You read stories about potty training at bedtime, have them sit on the potty with their diaper on, wear panties at times you know they'll be dry for 30 minutes,etc. Crossing fingers that this will help. And hoping Bin takes a lot less time then the 4-6 months the book warns for difficult children. :)
