So this was the extent of my crafting today...a reward chart of sorts for Sydney to put stickers on after she goes to the bathroom.
Exciting, huh? She picked out some very special stickers at the store - horses and nascar. Well rounded her father called her. She's kind of slow going at potty training. She likes to sit there and hang out in the bathroom a lot, but no action if you know what I mean. Anybody have any tips? I'm all ears!

Yippy for going on the potty! Whatever it takes is my philosophy. That cute chart would make me want to use the toilet. ;)
Tips- you'll probably know right away if Sydney is a rewards kid. My DD totally went for a potty chart and trained by 2 1/2 with 3 accidents. We went hard core and did no diapers once I thought we were both ready. I know other kids who could care less about charts though. I also made one column for pee and one for poop, and she put a sticker under the corresponding column when she went. Good luck!

Good luck! My advice is this: don't stress yourself out. With my three, they were all completely different with potty training attitudes. My first took tons of stickers, songs, rewards, wasn't potty trained until he was 3+, and his sister was born. He was in pull-ups at night until he was 6. My little guy now trained himself on his own, he isn't even 2 1/2, and has been wearing his undies for months. We rewarded him the first few times, but now wants no part of it.He tells us to go away. I have no idea why they are so different, I'm assuming it's biological.

good luck on potty training. I am the last one to offer advice on this one. I had such trouble with my boys. (i'm hoping that little A trains herself.)
