It is official I am starting the new adventure of potty training my son. Yes I bought my gear early because I knew in advance that I wanted to potty train him early. Due to some events like my surgery, trips and family visits things have not started the exact way that I planned it but that is okay. Now that things have died down a lot.
I am ready for this fun, stressful, time consuming and exciting processes of the potty training world. My son is 18 months now and I believe summer is the perfect time to start. I am home, don’t need to leave the house as often like when I have to pick up and drop off my siblings and I can monitor / focus on potty training all day.
I potty trained my sister (That was a nightmare.) so I am hoping all goes well on my second attempt on this whole potty training thing. Is boys easier to potty train? Or girls? I always think that everything really depends on the child, all children are different in approaches and methods of training in anything really.
The only problem is that my son doesn’t talk a whole lot, “Mama“. “Dada“, “Cup Cup“, “Nummie Nummie“, “Grandma“, “O“, “Room Room” the rest is still cute baby language and movements like pointing. So my thing right now is to figure out a way for him to tell me he has to go…. I will figure that out.
I created his potty training chart and made a few extras for those of you who has little racers like me and is going through the same thing as me this summer or soon.
I thought I should match it with the theme of his potty seat (Disney’s Cars) His pullups happen to match too (wasn’t planned just worked out that way) so it was a must to tie everything together. Why not right?

That is not all though.

Thank you so much Keerti, I will stop by thanks for the invite 🙂
I tried potty training my oldest daughter when she was 20 months old. She was doing okay about going in the potty if we were on the potty pretty much all of the time. Otherwise, there were times she was peeing in her underwear. We think that we tried potty training her too early. Later on down the road, I would ask her out of the blue if she wanted to go to the potty and she would say, 'No!' She will be 3 now in October and I'm going to be starting the potty training adventure again. I've been trying to think of special things to get her really interested again. Wish me luck!
I like that you introduced it to her. She may have not been a 100% ready but she was introduced which I think is great. I wrote a post on activities you can do in my Getting potty training organized post if you want to have a look at it. http://cityofcreativedreams.blogspot.com/2014/03/potty-training-shopping-list-get-potty.html Hope that helps.
All of mine are potty trained, but boy oh boy, was it a fun battle!!! lol…wish I had more resources at the time…or took advantage of more I guess. These looks so helpful!

Thanks for this. We're just about to embark on serious spotty training, so I'm on the lookout for cute and practical printouts like this:)
Aww thank you for commenting. This printable is helping me a lot with my son so I am sure it will help you too. Happy potty training!
This is great. I use an app myself, but this would be perfect when I am at work and my husband is doing the training.

Thank you Sharon, I been wanting to use the app versions but I am always getting bad cell phones that suck at working. Hope your husband enjoys the printable. Happy potty training!
Printables are such a great way to stay organized. Plus it would help the little ones too. Thank you for sharing at Motivational Monday Link Party. I can't wait to see what you share this Sunday night.
