Before I even had my little boy I was dreading the thought of potty training.  My experience came from watching my friend try and train her son.  Forget the myths of 'boys are always slow' and 'boys are lazy' as I was told, I potty trained my son in

*Plan to spend at least a full week at home. I had friends doing errands for me because a I daren't leve the house.

*Remove any signs of nappies (my son used to always plead with me to put one on him) and insist they wear pants.

Unfortunatley alot of patience (and cleaning equipment) is needed, as well as praise and treats.

My son constantly had accidents for 2 days and I was considering giving up however, with support from friends, I continued and after the second day my little boy was fed up of being wet and woke up on the third day using his potty.  We have the very rare accident even now and again but that's to be expected.

Since I have potty trained my son, other friends have used the same method with the same success, even the friend who had 'toilet trouble' with her first child.  I wish I had known how easy it was, I could have enjoyed my pregnancy then!!!!
