[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So no one potty trained a three-year-old in one day?  [/quote]

Why does it have to be ONE day? It might take 2-3 and then a few days to adjust when you go to daycare or outings. [/quote]

Well, that was the question.  Probably based on the scores of posters against early potty training who’ve sworn that it only took one day with an older child.  I know I’ve read it probably 30 times in the last year. [/quote]
 
I'm the PP whose kid wanted the bike.  I've probably posted something about one day, in response to people who want to know how many days it took to get to the point where their kid was using the toilet, or something, but I wouldn't have considered my kid toilet trained at one day.  To me a toilet trained kid is one who uses a real toilet, who can manage their own clothing, and wipes themselves, and tells you when they need to go.  If you're a change of clothing in your bag, and abandoning your groceries in line for a mad dash to the bathroom, then you're in process.  That point took us a couple weeks.  But I read about families who start early who literally spent months doling out M and M rewards, or sticking close to home because their kid can only use a potty and not a toilet, etc . . . That just wasn't going to work for my family.  [/quote]
