Potty Training 101

We recently received 8 pairs of cloth training pants from CSN Stores to review (coming soon!) As D recently turned 2, we've decided it's as good a time as any to give potty training a real shot. She has been showing signs of being ready such as telling me immediately after she's soiled her diaper, asking to sit on the potty and waking up dry after long naps.

We've done a lot of potty trials in the past, but have not really pushed the issue as D did not seem to fully understand it yet. This weekend, we've been trying to properly train for the first time - and so far it's going pretty well! She's wet her pants only once, and gone on the potty 3 times. She'll often come and tell me her pants are dry, which is great! A few times I did have to put a diaper on her, because we've been out shopping and visiting relatives. It's a work in progress - I can see it's going to be a longer process than expected, but D has been handling the change with enthusiasm which tells me that we're on the right path.

I've been giving rewards - new story books, stickers, etc. when D makes some good progress and pees on the potty. We're trying to make it fun, and be encouraging about the whole thing without making it seem like a "chore" or like something she "has" to do. What tips or suggestions have you got for potty training???
