It was a while back when I first wrote to ask for opinions of other parents regarding potty training their kids. Back then I was quite keen to get started on training Ryan to use the potty. But the suggestion then was to let him take his time and be ready at his own pace.
So it was left at that. But recently we started asking Ryan if he would like to try using a potty since he can already tell us when he needs to pee and poo. He was alright with the idea and sometimes even seemed keen when we talked about buying a potty when we go shopping.
But for a few times when we went to check out potties and tried to get him to test some out just so we know it fits him, he refused and wanted to walk out of the shop. So we couldn’t buy any. The strange thing was that during bed time, he would come and tell me that I forgot to buy him a potty!
Anyway, finally the daddy managed to get him to try out some potties when I wasn’t around and bought him 2 sets, one for home use and the other at the babysitter’s. We have yet to start him on it but looking forward to it tonight.
I just hope that we don’t get overwhelmed by all that smell from the potty…he does eat quite a bit and sometimes even he can’t take the smell of his own poo and showed signs of wanting to vomit! Hahahaha!
Speaking of eating a lot, I’ve pigged out so much during lunch time that I’m feeling sleepy all afternoon. If I keep eating at this pace, soon I’m going to need a good and safe fat burner product! 
So anyone has any tip for this newbie mummy trying to potty train a 2-year old?

Bring your baby for a walk so that you can do some walking exercise at the same time. But being a mom of a baby is an exhausting exercise already, don’t worry, you’ll be slim very soon. :p
Hehe, good suggestion, Jessen. You’re right, looking after a baby/toddler is really a lot of exercise!
Yeah… starting potty training can be a rather stressful time for parents. Not the kid. Haha!
That’s very true, Leona!! Until now Ryan has yet to use the potty. Play with it yes, use it – nope!
