I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. Also, my children were in
cloth diapers and it was much easier to potty train them. They knew what
it felt like when they were wet. With disposables, IMHO, they can't feel
the wetness when they go. It takes longer to make the connection. Pull
Ups are horrible to use when potty training for just this reason. I got a
book, recommended by my wonderful pediatrician, called _Potty Training In
Less than a Day_ or something like that. He said don't expect to do it in
a day but use the tips in the book. All of my children were potty trained
at 20 months(I have 5). It was realitively easy and non stressful for
them. I must admit the hardest part with the younger ones was having the
time at home to practice. We carried the potty chair in the back of the
van for my 4th child. Hey, it worked!!!!!

You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
You shall begin it serenely and
with too high a spirit to be encumbered
with your old nonsense."
