[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I see the clear consensus that it might be easier when he's three.  I also know that it might not be (there's plenty of anecdata of people trying at age three and encountering resistance).  In our case, our family's logistics make it easier to do it now, even if it means a longer process with more accidents, etc.  (He has to be potty trained by 3 per daycare, we have a new baby coming a month before he turns 3, he's home with me for the summer because I'm a teacher, etc.)  So, when I add in all those other factors, I'd rather stick it out now if there's a chance of success than wait and try to do it under the daycare time pressure, with a newborn, etc.

Plus, we've been using cloth diapers for 2.5 years, so the laundry from the accidents doesn't phase me.  And we have wood floors, so there hasn't even been an accident that was messy or annoying to clean up.  (Strip kid, wipe floor--I can handle that 3x/day.)

At any rate, I'm going to stay the course for another week or two.  I'm starting to be convinced that I should up the rewards, but he doesn't seem nearly as excited about M&Ms as about stickers.

I'd still love to hear other suggestions...[/quote]
