Potty Training - Blessing or curse

Potty training boys is so difficult.  It takes forever before they are willing to be potty trained.

Once you have finished potty training them then you have the problem with aim.

I swear that Tyler loves to see how far he can hit.  I have to clean my bathroom 3 or 4 times a day and it still just does not seem to get the smell out.

I have cleaned on the floor, in cracks, the toilet, the bolts.  It is just amazing.

How do you get that terrible smell out?

I just don't know.  This really sucks.  I wanted to take a warm bath the other day and it smelled so bad I couldn't.

I will find a way to make my bathroom smell better.

I am happy that we don't use diapers but come on I can't stand having this odor every time I go into the bathroom.

Men’s Health Magazine (Sept. '08issue) is recommending Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day: Proven Secrets of the Potty Pro by Teri Crane. My husband picked us up a copy after reading the article. IT REALLY WORKS!!

Everyone is talking about throwing a "potty party" to potty train a child. I was so desperate, I was willing to do anything. Her book outlines 10 themed parties. What kid doesn't love to play and pretend? All my mommy friends have successfully potty trained their kids with her book too.

Honestly, when I first learned of this book, I thought NO WAY! Maybe this would work on a little girl, but NOT a BOSSY, 2-1/2 year old BOY. NO WAY! Guess what? It REALLY WORKED!!! Teri Crane SAVED MY SANITY!!! Her book was easy to read, funny and extremely helpful. I can't thank Teri enough. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to EVERY parent. It will save you much grief and frustration. Potty training shouldn't be difficult, we as parents make it difficult because we don't know what to do. Teri teaches you. Buy the book, it's the best money you will ever spend

Most amazingly, I had some questions, so I called the author, and she CALLED ME BACK!!

I saw your post at the mom blog network. My son is 3 years old and I am still having a hard time training him! I think he is ready because he shows all the signs and he knew it but the problem is that he will not sit on the potty. Well, sometimes he will sit and he can sit on the potty for 20 minutes and nothing happened. I also have videos about potty train and he likes to watch it but he is still refusing..
