I"ve heard that potty training child #2 is sometimes easier b/c they want to be like big brother/sister.

Well, the other day, Hattie (19months) came and said, mama peepee. So I put her on the pottie and she went!! Yeah! Of course I know NOT to push her to do this all the time,but hey, its a step in the right direction. Of course most of the time, when big brother runs to the potty to pee, she follows with her shirt up, I think she thought pee could come out of her belly button. Ha!

my #2 was much harder to train then his big sister. he is a boy with a lot of stubborn dutch blood and we just figured out he would completely trained when he was ready. (which was at 3 years and 4 months) my longest at 21 months also will say peepee and will sit on the potty and has gone a few times, but we are no pushing her.

awesome!!

we introduce ours to the potty around 1 Not expecting anything, just a 'this is the potty' kind of thing. anyway, I remember dh sat ds#2 on the potty at that age and said "pee" and he did LOL and continued to do so each and every time :shock:
that child was out of diapers, full time, at 18 mo. Never an accident or bedwetting at night..nothing..weird LOL

but the #3 had to be pokey, but I blame that on our situation at the time...we missed that "window" when he was showing signs of readiness but I couldn't oblige (living in a tent!!!)

in the end, they are each their own person, but yeah, I think like anything, the latter children do pick up on things by watching and imitating the elders

bravo for hattie...keep encouraging momma :)

(sorry for post appearance..baby in arms/nak)

Way to go Hattie!!! Off to a great start!!! ~Kerri
