Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 To the 2 s, Please differentiate with something clear, like mentioning your kid's name in your posts so I & maybe others won't be confused as to which one is posting. Could be your state or anything else different. I *still *may get the contents mixed up anyways... Marie A Mom to Kim (since there is another Marie on this list) > > , > > You freaked me out a bit.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 What a great idea! That is what I need to do is take her more often. She was potty trained before, but then regresses a lot. She goes about 30 % of the time in the toilet, but probably has 6 diaper changes a day. Thanks, Gwen Re: potty training? > My daughter potty trained at 4 1/2.
