We have tried on numerous occasions to Potty Train Vance. None of them were really whole-hearted attempts though. The first couple were because Joel was potty training and everything Joel did, well Vance wanted to do too. Then right before Tj's training we thought we'd try and he did well peeing in the potty but would not poop. After several incidents (which I try and block from my memory) I declared that until he would poop on the potty he would remain in diapers! Tj thought that this was a waste because Vance could have been trained to do it 8 months ago. But one thing I know about Vance is that when he's ready, he's ready and there would be no stopping him! It was how he learned to walk, it was how he was when he was talking and it would be how he would potty train.
Sure enough about two weeks before we went to DC Vance decided that he was going to go potty in the big potty. Now normally this would not have been an issue, except I was just getting over being extremely sick and the thought of cleaning up accidents was not appealing. But alas, he insisted and I couldn't think of a single reason why not. And so with very few accidents he is potty trained!
Now this is what a potty training ninja Vance is. He was potty trained for less than a month and made it through 3 airplane trips, a trip through DC, the stomach flu and a move all with less than 3 accidents! When he's ready there's no stopping this kid!
