I've decided that LO is so ready for potty training that I can't put it off anymore. We'll be going for it about a week after returning home from this long trip we're on.

Here are two reasons I'm wondering if it's worth the money to buy the book and try the method:

#1: LO is "potty training herself" as folks like to say. We introduced the potty, read some books, had her watch me go to the bathroom, sat her on it a few times and she has really gone from there. I hardly ever prompt her but she will tell me before she needs to go and she will pee on the potty. Of course, she doesn't always tell me. This maybe happens about once per day. Maybe twice if we are home most of the day. She has never pooped on the potty though she has asked to try and tells me, "I push the poo poo out and splash!" but then she says, "I can't." She'll poop in her diaper like 3 minutes later. But asking on her own to go try to poop on the potty I feel like is a great sign of readiness.

So, all that to say, I feel like if she is already started, will this method work for us? Can we jump in where we are or is it better for LOs who are not using the potty at all yet?

#2: The book is against rewards, right? LO is VERY motivated by rewards and also for a 23 month old, I think she understands them pretty well. For example, if I say, "Sit quietly in the grocery store and you'll get a sticker when we're done," she is much more likely to do it and will remind me about the sticker. (She is still a toddler so it doesn't work all the time but the fact that it ever works impresses me.) Is it okay to incorporate simple rewards in the method?

Tell me what you think, potty trainers!
