Potty training made easy

If you have read my older posts about potty training Lucas, you would know the frustration I have been feeling as he has been so stubborn and resistant to being potty trained for many many months...

But what I've learned through this experience is that even though your baby may show signs of potty training readiness, you have to be patient and wait until they feel they are truly ready.

After many months of showing Lucas and telling him and teaching him about the potty, Lucas finally decided that he was ready to go to the potty everytime he wanted to pee.
3 days ago, he decided he didn't want the diaper anymore and he is now standing over the potty and peeing. He actually runs to the bathroom (where his potty is) and shuts the door to do the deed!

He still asks for his diaper when he wants to poo. When we ask him if he wants to poo into the potty or toilet he says "no". For me that means he is not ready, and I will continue to wait because he will be ready one of these days.
