The potty training show is just starting in the House of D... The little princess has for several months consciously sought out a little privacy for doing a number two, and now she has turned the corner in showing some interest in actually graduating to the big girl potty. However, this is more for the thrill of sitting on the porcelain throne - not so much for actually using it. But it my book this is still a milestone, and to celebrate that I'm posting this adorable picture of her, which will no doubt be brought up in therapy years from now!!My Mom told us about a family friend potty training her kids over a weekend by letting them wander around the house naked, and they quickly learned that they didn't like urinating on their own legs. This taught them to A) notice when they needed to tinkle, and B) seek out the toilet. We tried this on our daughter, who, not to be outsmarted, quickly showed us how she can squat and pee on the floor without getting so much as a drop on herself! After two big puddles, we broke down and put the diaper back on.
What potty training techniques have you used with your kids? What's the craziest techniques you've heard of?

That little Niemh! Such a cutie pie.
We let Grant's preschool in China potty train him. They looked at us like we were aliens when we told them he still wore a diaper at age 2-1/2. They said to let him wear underwear on his first day at school, and pack one extra pair in his backpack just in case.
I don't really know what happened at school but by the end of the week he was indeed potty trained.
