Creative-Type Dad and his wife are trying to potty train their daughter who is almost 1 1/2. He figures that if people can train animals to crap in the toilet, then why not an 18 month old? He seems to be mortified when he runs across four year olds that aren't toilet trained yet.
Now I know that every child is different and I am all for everybody doing whatever works for them as parents, but my twins are a full year older than his daughter and between the two of them in two and a half years they have pooped in the potty once and peed in it twice, and peed on the potty once. (I am pretty sure that the first one and the last one were flukes.)
I really don't mean to give Creative-Type Dad a hard time. I really enjoy his blog, in fact, I subscribe to his feed, but toilet training an 18 month old seems pretty ambitious to me.
He is looking for any tricks that you guys used to potty train your own children (and I am too, for that matter). Neither he, nor I are above most forms of bribery. Please leave a comment and let us know how (and when) you got this arduous task behind you.
