3 day potty training

I considered myself a potty training expert back when I was a preschool teacher. It was my personal mission to have kids out of diapers or pull-ups and in regular undies within 2 weeks of joining my 2 year old class. It was easy. Show them where to go. Let them flush the toilet. Give them a sticker. Piece of cake.

As we started approaching Justice’s second birthday, I thought “I got this.” Boy is it different when it’s your own kid and he’s at home with no bigger kids to learn from.

For the past 3 month or so we have tried various methods to get him on the potty with no real success. M&Ms would get him to sit on the pot but nothing happened. Pull-ups were no different than diapers in his eyes. Someone suggested letting him so go outside. That worked a little. He would go on command in the backyard but we couldn’t transition it to making things happen in the bathroom. In fact, when we sat him on the potty he would scream “Pee pee outside! Pee pee outside!”

He was frustrated. I was frustrated. And Brandon, my saint of a husband who stays home with him, was beyond frustrated.

Last week Brandon posted a comment on facebook asking friends for advice and someone suggested  Lora Jenson's 3 day potty training method. She said she’d used it with her second child and it worked great. I read the info and was skeptical but optimistic.

Holy moly, it worked! We started Saturday morning and his last accident was Monday just before nap. It’s Wednesday. 2 plus days without a single accident. I am completely blown away. In just 3 days, (in all fairness, they were 3 very long, very exhausting days) my sweet little boy has gone from screaming and crying when you asked him if he had to go, to standing up from his play table and announcing “POTTY TIME” with a smile as runs full speed to the toilet.

God bless you Lora Jensen!!! For detailed info check out her website @ 3DayPottyTraining.com where you can buy the eBook for $24. Money well spent.
