potty training
So we have just started the potty training process at our house. I would love to hear some of your tricks. My sister in law swears by a process in which her children went naked for a couple of days and pee'd on everything and then they were ready to go. I figure that will be my last resort as no one would want to come sit on my furniture!! Tell me how you trained your little ones!

We tried the timer... You set it for every 30 minutes or so and take them to the bathroom. Even if they don't do anything it gets them in the routine of going.

I'm with Holly above. This is what I did with Hattie. Every 30 minutes and just have them sit. We brought books in the bathroom, etc. Don't buy pull ups except for use at night because they won't have complete control at night yet. I never used a potty chair, I bought a baby bjorn potty seat to go on the toilet because I didn't want to clean up pee and poo. Plus she wasn't afraid of the toilet so I didn't see any reason to buy a little kid one. After about a week, extend your time to 45 minutes, one hour etc.
