Is this how it is supposed to work?


I thought the parents were supposed to read the book and then follow the steps to potty train their kids.

Let me tell you the way it has been working for us, since we have not yet read the book or really begun to train Mackenzie to use his potty: Mackenzie knows what the "potty book" is. About 10 minutes ago, he grabbed it off the shelf to look at the pictures. He then proceeded to make his way to the bathroom, remove his pants and diaper, sit down, continue reading the book and dribble a little. Yeah, all on his own. The hilarious part is that he grabs the potty training book to take with him to the bathroom. This is not the first time.

We are thinking we will leave him be and hopefully he will completely train himself, only, I don't think there are any pictures in there that show him how to wipe his bum. Guess you can't have it all.

Good luck with that. I sincerely hope he learns it on his own. We're having a...well...hell of a time trying to get Madeline to poop on the potty. For her it's no longer a matter of "how" so much as "why". Frustrating. I hope it goes better for you guys.
