Have I got some advice for you!!!!! Let me tell you, I have QUADRUPLET boys who will be 5 in September. I decided when they were 27 months old we were going to potty train. First you MUST get the book"Toilet Training In Less Than A Day". I read it twice and went exactly by the book with the exception of having them empty the potty themselves. I have enough mess to clean up without adding that. I had one who learned in 1 day with no accidents, one took 4 days with 1 accident, and 2 took 14 days. Only an occasional accident at night by 1 of the boys who would sleep so soundly the urge wouldn't wake him up. Zip Zap we're done! It was INTENSE potty training. I did nothing else for 2 weeks except potty train. I didn't cook, clean or go anywhere. We kept a potty in the car with paper towels in it to absorb anything if they had to go while we were out. You can do it!!!!! Just once you start, don't go back. Go at it full force and be consistent. Pull ups were used in the beginning ONLY at nap time and bedtime and came off as soon as they got up. I just didn't want to take a chance of them wetting their beds for a few weeks. Really, I just didn't want to change 4 beds . Good luck and get the book! Let me know if I can help further.
