Hey Laura!!! I didn't do the 3-day potty training thing - I was just very lucky with daytime potty; Willow was pooping in the potty consistently by about 18 months and was in panties without accidents all day by about a month or two after she turned 2. I can take NO credit - I never tried to "potty train" her. BUT I can tell you what I did with nap/night "training." I never pushed that either - I know that a lot of kids just can't wake up for that, and I had no desire to be changing sheets in the middle of the night or morning. So I always put her in a pull-up to sleep. And she was almost aways wet after sleeping all night - rarely wet after naps. Suddenly, in November, she started waking up dry every morning. After almost a month, I mentioned to her that maybe she wouldn't need pull-ups much longer. In December, she decided that she would no longer be wearing pull-ups to bed. She has never worn one again; so far, we have not had any accidents.

I realize that I have been beyond lucky on this one. But I truly think that, with sleeping, it is best not to try to "train." Eventually, he will stop wetting at night, and then you will know he is ready. If he doesn't want to wear a diaper, can you get him to wear a night-time pull-up with characters he likes? What the heck??? You have done this twice before. You don't need advice from me!
