Yes, I am *officially* potty training Lexi! Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's "young" but I have climbed aboard the Potty Train, and it's going very well thus far. She picked up the signs for "potty" and "wash" in less than a day, she'll sit on the potty for a long while (with the reward of an M&M) and she is interested in her toilet(s). When she's going to the bathroom in her diaper, I reinforce the potty sign and she acknowledges it and this morning she walked into the bathroom and placed her cushion on the seat as she was going #2. I don't know how long before she actually goes on the toilet, but I'm so happy that she's sitting!
The Potty Train kit that I received came with a book for parents, a board book for the child, and a cartoon DVD that introduces the signs necessary for communicating during training. Lexi *loves* the book and the DVD. The first time she watched it, she was in awe! This is the child who cannot sit still long enough for anything! And she wouldn't move when we played it for her, and she gets mad when I try to take away her book. In the book for me, it says that in the 1960s, 98% of children were potty trained by 18 months, now the average is 37 months and that Huggies just came out with a size 7 diaper! Of course, early potty training isn't for everyone, an if Lexi didn't seem interested, I'd back off, but she is picking up some small steps quickly and I'm hoping that she will be potty trained by age 2. With some changes that are coming soon, it shouldn't be a problem.
