FTR, my brother was easier to PT than me. I just couldn't be bothered to care if I had a dirty or wet diaper, plus there was the whole not wanting to communicate with the parentals, so letting them know I needing changing was right out. I was passed 3 before I was trained I think.
Man, just ascend already.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You remember stuff from when you were that young, ita??
I was seventeen.
Kidding.
I think I was two or so, because it was the NY apartment -- I remember all our houses except for the first one (the one before NY) at least as background to a memory. By three we were already in Canada, and this definitely wasn't Canada.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've got dim recollections of when I was three and four. But they seem almost dream like. I think that's really the time your long-term memory starts working. The memories I do have tend to be especially strong emotionally.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.
These stories always make me slightly suicidal.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I think my earliest memory was from about age 2 1/2. We moved then and I remember pulling away from our house for the last time. But my memories from age 2-5 or 6 are very spotty.

Still working on Leif, he's gone through some phases where it seems like it was going to catch on, but then he's back. I think he's just too busy creating chaos to take time for potty breaks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats, Burrell, Franny sounds like a take charge gal who's going places.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have memories starting from when I was 2 or 3. But I think they're memories of memories....
I remember (when I was being potty trained) hiding in the corner and taking a dump in my pants. And how my mom was mad when she had to clean me up.
That might be the last time I've shit my pants.

Takes after his father, it seems. (I meant the chaos bit, not the potty breaks)
And far too busy with important pursuits.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
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.
Ha--this is exactly how it worked for my niece. "I want to go to preschool like D!" (big brother) "Well, to go to preschool you have to be potty-trained." "Okay!" And wham, using the toilet. Should I ever have children, I should be so lucky.
