So maybe you get to mostly maintain the diaper status quo instead of it doubling! That was so helpful of her...
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Burrell, that's great!!!
I never tried it that early, but my pediatrician swore it was the right time to try it. You might want to think about pull-ups for days, when you're home, because it will make it easier for her, and something more under her own control (which is half the fun for them, I think).

Of course she may get confused when she drags your DH into the bathroom with her.
He can sit and tuck.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I was planning on buying her some pull-ups, Cindy, since she was a bit miffed that we put another diaper on her after such a stellar performance. Of course, it was wet a short while later. She doesn't really have the bladder control yet, but I want to encourage her. She's moving into that stage where she wants to do everything for herself.

Actually, she seems to have taken the alternate equipment in her stride. And yeah, the rule is to sit in front of her so she learns she's supposed to sit. I imagine one would want a little boy to sit too, after all, some *men* have problems with aim, I wouldn't want to trust a toddler!

Hee. Don't the have little shields on the teeny potty chairs for boys? I've not yet investigated this.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Burrell, that's wonderful! Go team Franny!
And all sorts of good easy vibes and -ma to you and the incipient little critter on Tuesday.

For older children, I'm kind of anti-Pull-Ups after the first week or two of training, because I think they have more incentive when they wear undies. But your daughter is just about 20-21 months, right? She'll feel wetter in a Pull-Up than she will in a diaper, but shouldn't feel as discourage as she might, if she wet undies.
Julia learned before she was two, but not because I introduced it. She was a very mature little thing, and articulate. She didn't want to wear a pull-up under her bathing suit. She wanted to look like her big cousins did in their bathing suits, so I told her if there was no pull up, all her pee and poop had to be in the potty. She said okay, and that was that.
Let's not talk about the boys. *sigh*
