I have this dream. And it involves diapers. Throwing them out, never buying them again, never changing them, never having to think about them...you get the idea. I'm reaaaallly tired of diapers. Dash? Dash is not tired of diapers. Not one bit. I actually think he enjoys having me at his beck and call when his pants need to be, um, "refreshed". I have tried every trick in the book, from candy to harping on being a big boy and NOTHING seems to make him at all interested in the process. That stinker will sit on the potty for 20 minutes and get off only to soil his britches within minutes. So thinking back to Fin's (very easy) potty training, I remembered something. I remembered the power of underpants...
The power of underpants with your
friends on them. Underpants you can't WAIT to wear...
Underpants with Toodee...
...and Foofa...
...and Wubzy. Wow Wow.
Here's hoping that they actually work. He asked to wear them right away, but over his diaper. I said no and so he's just been looking at them longingly for the past two days...Baby steps, baby steps...

I'm very interested in this potty training process, especially upon reading that Fin was easy to potty train. My husband took to it well, as the eldest, and his mom tells me it just got worse for each successive son, and the younger two were both nearly 4 before completely potty trained. I hope the cool undies are enticement enough, and if so, I better file this trick away as something to remember in a few years.
Out of curiosity, among your friends, do those with daughters report an easier time potty training?
Cara I think it really depends more on the kid then the gender. I'll keep you posted!
