[quote=Anonymous]With my first, he used the potty occasionally starting a bit before 2 but still wore diapers. I kept thinking he would get to the point where he never used his diaper.  I didn't know what I was doing and I had a newborn to deal with so I didn't care.  He used the potty more and more as he got older but still used his diaper too.  A couple of weeks after he turned three, I put on underpants and he went the whole day with no accident.  The next day, his nanny took him to a playground and he had an accident there.  That happened again 2 or 3 days later and I kid you not that was IT for day accidents.  ONE on day 2 and ONE on day 4 or 5.  We kept him in pullups at night for another two months but they were almost always dry.  Stopped using them and he had 2 or 3 overnight accidents over the next 18 months or so, usually after a really exhausting day.

Kid #2 was very resistant to using the potty so we just talked up his third birthday and how 3 year olds don't wear diapers.  3rd birthday was a Sunday.  Put him in underpants when he got up.  3 accidents that day (3rd was while headed to the bathroom), one the next day, and maybe 2-3 more over the next week and that's it.  So fully trained in about a week but going full days without accidents by day 3.  No accidents after the first week or 10 days.  We tried to do pullups at night but he wasn't having it.  No nighttime accidents ever.    [/quote]
