Day 2 seemed less stressful, but I'm sure it's because I delegated my training duties to Nana. The day started out great. Tyler went potty first thing after breakfast, AND he stayed dry until 10:00, when I left him in Nana's very capable hands. My mom said that twice while she was here Tyler actually took off running for the bathroom all on his own! Unfortunately he was too late on both occasions, but I am so excited that he was making the effort to get there all on his own! After his nap we didn't have any successful visits to the potty. I think he got lazy after a long day of hard work.
Today I didn't give him any more liquid than normal and it was amazing how much less he needed to go potty! It really cut down on the accidents! Whatever you read in the books, I do not recommend the extra fluids. It may give them more chances to practice, but for Tyler it was too much for him to handle. It's nice to spend more time celebrating dry pants.
Moral of day 2: Fewer liquids mean fewer accidents. (I like that!)

So he's used the potty twice in two days... that's great!! I think that figuring out what the potty is for is half the battle.
I never tried the extra liquids route. Good to know how that turns out.
he is too cute! thanks for posting all this info. I haven't started training with Grace yet, but your blog is elpiong me get a game plan together :)
He actually went 3 times in 2 days - twice the first day, and once the 2nd day. But the 2nd day he also tried to get to the potty on his own, so he gets bonus points for that! I wanted to clarify since everyone is keeping track!
Yeah Tyler!!!
