[quote=Anonymous]We potty trained our nearly 2.75 yr old daughter over Memorial Day weekend. This is what we did:
- talked for a week about how the diapers will be all gone pretty soon, and then it's time for putting pee pee and poop in potty and wearing underpants. 
- the night before the big launch day, I removed ALL diapers from anywhere they could be found. 
- in the morning when she woke up, we looked for the diapers, discovered they were all gone, then got out the underpants. 
- careful parental vigilance and dash to potty whenever pee started (along with helpful siblings who did a great job of play acting: "I need to go potty!" and taking themselves to the bathroom)
- bribery with M&Ms for using potty.

On the first day, she had one big pee accident and 2-3 "uh oh it's started" pee accidents. One poop accident during first day nap. On second day, no pee accidents, one poop in underpants. She accidentally pooped in the potty while there to pee, so we have her a cookie. After that, she rushed herself to the bathroom and happily accepted M&M/cookie payments for delivery of the product to the potty.

She was totally day/nap/night trained by day 4 and was forgetting to ask for M&Ms by day 5 or 6. It was AMAZING.

I have four kids and she's the last. We used pull-ups for the other three and oh how I wish we'd tried this first! It was so fast and so easy and we did not spend three to six months dragging it out with pull-ups (which I agree only serve to confuse kids and convince them that peeing in underpants is a-okay).

Good luck![/quote]
