Potty Training...

I salute to Moms who have successfully potty trained their kids!! Oooohh...it's difficult than I thought it'ld be.The actual process of  'potty training'  might be  simple...but to get the kids ready for it and to make em sit on the potty and finally get them to do it is a hectic task.I got a potty seat for Ashwin when he was 18 mos.I never made him actually sit on it.It would just lie in the restroom.I remember Ashwin being very curious and eager looking at it..trying to sit on it..not knowing what he needed to do with that....and then one fine day I placed his potty seat on top of ours and without me saying a word Ashwin sat on it and was trying to play with the potty.He was a lil sad at first 'cos this toy seemed very different..no lights..no sounds...nothing to stack..but for some reason he enjoyed sitting on it..I guess that's why it was different to him.Then on, whenever I take him to the restroom for a bath or to wash his hands..he'ld take his potty seat...place it and sit on it.

The next improvement?! was he would get down to his diaper all by himslef...and then started removing it too. He didn't feel comfortable on the diaper esp when wet or soiled.Most websites suggested that the right age to start poty training would be 2 1/2-3yrs.But,Ashwin showed a lotta signs to be potty  trained or rather I shld say 'get me outta the diaper' kinda signs!! So.. its his 2nd day of potty training...and he did lemme know twice that he needed to go...not to forget 2 accidents.I hope he shld'nt take long to be on track..lets Wait n See!!!
