We started potty training Noah back in June of 2011. He was a little bit over 2 years old and was beginning to show signs of being ready such as telling us he peed in his diaper and needed to be changed and even refusing to poop in a diaper or go and hide when he did have to poop. The first week we pretty much stayed home the entire week. We set out the potty and lots of towels and we let him go bottom half naked for the first few days. Every time he would start to go I'd run him to the potty and he'd pee in the potty--most of the time. There were a lot of accidents too.  The hardest part for me was just being patient and sticking with it. There were so many times I just wanted to go back to diapers and give up but I knew he could do it and would eventually get the hang of it. And he did! It only took about 4 months for him to be completely potty trained and accident free during the day and now he is even potty trained at night! We are done with diapers!! Well for Noah at least. Isaac still has  while ;) . 

The best tips I have for those who haven't started yet or are in the middle of potty training is just to be patient and try not to get frustrated. There will be accidents and messes. But it will happen eventually. Bring extra clothes for yourself and your kiddo when you go places and just stick with it!
