HELP! Any Suggestions?

So, next week is THE WEEK. The week I've been putting off for 6 months. The week I've been too busy to deal with. The week I can't put off any longer. The week I've tried to ignore for way too long. It's time to potty train! UGH!

Drew has been ready for a long time, but because of tax season, January - April were out of the question. And as for May, we all know what a crazy month it always ends up being with the end of the school year. So, as of Monday, I have no more excuses to put it off.

My girls were impossibly easy to potty train, and both were trained well before they were Drew's current age. Oh well! So, since Lexi will be out of school to entertain Kourtney for me, next week is all about Drew.

I've heard horror stories about how hard little boys are to potty train, so I'm kind of dreading it and psyching myself out. So, to all you mom's of potty trained little boys.........any suggestions or tips????? Trust me, I can use all the help I can get.

I've got 6 weeks to make sure he's got it down good, so I guess I'd better get started ASAP!

I think Ethynn was my easiest to potty train. Consistency is the key!

Dominick was my easiest. I let him wander around in a t-shirt and no pants/underwear for about a week. His little toilet was in the main room and then of course we had a small stool by the big toilet. We used cheerios(sp?) in the big toilet for aim. The consistent 15 min potty question, dum-dums, and multi-potty system worked for us.

I have the best e-book that I read and would be happy to foward to you. I potty trained both of my boys at the same time with it and it worked. It's called the 3 day potty training book. I know 4 other people that have used it on their boys and they are all trained too. Let me know if you want me to email it to you.

Good luck! I have no advise because I have never done it before, but I am not looking forward to it so I feel your pain!
