Aubrey has finally reached the point of no return (to diapers). I know some people feel the need to wait until the toddler wants to do it, but I'm pretty sure that would be a very long wait. So we started this week , and it's going pretty well. I thought perhaps I could share a few tips and if you have any for me, they would be greatly appreciated.
1. Potty training in pull-ups can be done, they just have to be changed immediately after an accident. Just this tip alone has cut out 90% of all my anxiety associated with potty training, not to mention how much we will save in property damage.
2. If your toddler hates the potty (just as mine did), it helps to have a basket with a few washable toys next to the toilet.
3. Not every child potty trains in the same way. I tried all my Chad tricks on Aubrey - I bought her toys and candy - she told me to take them back.
4. And for the greatest potty training trick of all: give them a bowl of warm water and water toys to play with. You know the warm water trick you play at sleepovers? Same idea. This worked wonders for Aubrey! Plus it entertains them while you wait.
So that's all I have. I will spare all of you pictures on this particular topic.

Unfortunately, we made the mistake of buying Dora pull-ups for Hannah. Those diaper companies are smart... What toddler would want to get potty trained when the alternative is wearing Dora diapers?
