mjkacmom, We do live in NJ and I don't think they do that any more. People have told me stories like yours, that they got help, but my DD,6yrs, has a speech problem and no one in school would help us at first because her speech has to affect her learning. She got help because when she was in kindergarden, she could not read or say letter sounds. Any hoo, I don't think the state would help, but my dr. said she is giving him one more month. If he dosen't talk more then he is going for testing. He does say me-me(mommy) , da-da and bye. And he babbles all the time. So will see. As for PT I stink at it! My first DS wasn't PT till 4 1/2!!! So I need help with boys.

 

I have a slightly different problem. We have 4 languages in house. My DS would not talk, and I did get evaluation and such - no physical delays, just confused. But the solution I discover was baby signing. He never got frustrated and we always know what he wants. And it did not slow his speech in a long run. The best DVDs to learn baby signing language, in my opinion, are "Baby signing time" by Rachel Coleman. At kleast you will know when he want pee and milk :)

Hey Guys, First of all how did you guys potty train your kids so early? I need help. My son is gonna be 29 mos. when we go on the Oasis. He's 23 mos now. Any Advice??

 

As previously stated: naked for 1 day. We talked about Robert being a "big boy" and starting pee and poop on potty for a couple of days before. He had 5 potties to choose from - all week he was trying the out - seating and watching cartoon. I made a huge deal the first time he peed on potty, we called daddy and grandmom.

The next day he went to a underwear. I never did pull-ups or pants without underwear.

He had only a couple of oopses in the first week. We just say in slightly disappointing voice: "oh, next time you will pee on potty". In restaurants, when we going to bathroom, I allow him to say to people who looks and smile at him: "Robert is peeing on potty, not pants" - not really a restaurant subject, but people laughing and tell him how good he is.

I also took the same as home potty to his childcare as they don't have child-sized toilet. He is only one kid there with his own potty, but it is because noone else in his 2 yeals old potty trained yet. Teachers saying he is making a big deal telling other kids he is not a baby, but big boy. And 90% of his accidents were in childcare, not home.

Yes, our M&M thread is moving fast! Sorry, I must have missed your post. I am HOPING to get my DD to go to the nursery for a bit. I say HOPING because she has never been anywhere except her grandparents without DH or I, so I am not sure how it is going to all play out.

 

As for the potty...I am not sure what we are going to do. Do they have a regular toilet? Will they help her get up on it? Not sure what the health hazard is, as they are changing diapers there, right? I may have to put her in a pull up and hope she can hold it until I get there.

 

Not too worried about #2 accident, she is like clockwork, same time frame each day. Of course with a diet change who knows.

 

I think I will call RCI and see what kind of answer I get - will let you know!

 

We can introduce our kids before hands, so they have a playmate. My son goes to child care 2-3 times a week, and he is very good in new settings. He also enjoy to patronize new friends. He loves to take care of "baby" - even when baby is as old as he is :)

Momto3cuties, I asked you related question in our m&m board, bur it is moving so fast, you probably missed it :). Are you planing to take your little one to the nursery? I called them and they don't have a child sized toilet in nursery. Original phone person told me I can bring my own potty to nursery, but when I was trying to confirm it, I have been told it is a health hazard. They told me nursery will call me when DS will need to go potty, so I can come in and assist him. My DS is 29 months, so he can hold for 10-15 minutes, but will I able to get there in 10 minutes? He did not have an accident in few months now, I would hate to reverse him to diapers :(.
