Randall is now almost 40 months old and we decide to try potty training him again. He made his first pee pee in the toilet more than half a year ago, but didn’t seem ready to be fully potty trained yet.

This time it all happens in just two days – one day of accidents and another day of no accidents. And all it takes for this overnight change is the one thing I tell him: “You have to be potty trained to go on that big ship.” Well, of course we’ve made it up. We have already booked the cruise trip before we start training him. We would go anyway even if he was not trained by that time. But that has just worked! Now it’s time to enjoy our trip on the big ship.
