So this is my 2nd attempt to potty train Ryan. I thought I'd get serious this time and buy a new baby potty, but I also bought another pack of size 5 diapers at the same time. What does that say about my confidence to potty train? Yeah, not high. I also bought some toy trucks as bribery. Ryan cried for a while about just sitting on the potty with his clothes on. Finally 2 hours later, he sat on it. Then later that night he sat on it naked. Today he wore underwear for an hour. So basically I have 2 more trucks left and have yet to see any pee. I think someone is training me to give him toys. Smart kid! We'll see how it goes over the next few days of fun! Any advice?

I am sure you've tried everything I have tried and more.
With Jack I tried 3 or 4 times in a 6 month period before we had success. I really think they just have to be ready.
With Maisie I wanted to skip the frustration (on my end) and used the pull ups. That way, I could take M to the bathroom 35 times a day for practice, but if she had an accident - I didn't care. It worked - but it took 3 solid days. I also used pull ups for a week or two at night.
Isn't potty training a blast? Good luck Ry-guy
Since I am such an expert...oh wait, I have only trained 1 kid! Anyway, I went straight to big girl panties, no pull-ups. A friend of mine told me that they need to have a few accidents to "feel wet" and uncomfortable in order to actually "get it". So there is my expert advice.
I hate potty training. Glad I'm done! I didn't even attempt to potty train my boys until they were 3...they just weren't ready until then.
I HATE Potty training....SO glad I'm done!!!
Good luck with that...
