About
the Author: Colleen Ference
Our son showed signs indicating that he was ready to
start potty training, however, when we asked him every
morning if he wanted to wear underwear instead of diapers,
he always responded with an adamant NO. Five months
passed and we realized that he was never going to choose
his underwear. His strong will and many rejections to
start potty training was the inspiration for the idea
of the Potty Lady and her toilet training method. Thanks
to the Potty Lady our son trained willingly, happily
and with pride. Because the Potty Lady’s method
worked so effectively for our son, it prompted me to
write the book “Is the Potty Lady Coming to Your
House?” and to make the “Potty Lady Kit”.
I trust your experience will be fun and memorable too.
HOORAY!
NO MORE DIAPERS AT OUR HOUSE!!
Our
twins
celebrated
their
third
birthday on
September
23,
2005.
One
month
before
their
birthday,
the
Potty
Lady
came
to
visit
our
house
and
once
again
we
had
a
fantastic
time
with
potty
training.
Both
Jill
and
Troy
trained
very
quickly
(under
one
month)
with
minimal
accidents.
Even
though
Jill
was
very
quick
to
learn
day
and
night
time
training
for
peeing,
she
had
some
issues
with “pooping” on
the
potty.
She
has
never
been
constipated
but
she
would
still
experience
some
anxiety
with
the
sensation
of
pooping
whether
in
her
pants
or
on
the
potty.
Lots
of
support,
hugs
and
encouragement
was
all
we
could
do
to
help
her
along
with
this
part
of
her
training.
The Potty Lady visits were
a real hit. When the doorbell
rang, all of our kids would
bolt like torpedoes to the
door screaming THE POTTY
LADY’S HERE!!! Our
oldest son Scott (who the
inspiration for the Potty
Lady came from) had an incredible
time with this as well.
So much so he said to my
husband and I “This
is fun….I want to
potty train again too” EEEKS…The
next day and from there
on Scotty also received
a package and a letter from
the Potty Lady praising
him for helping his brother
and sister to learn how
to use the potty. Overall
it was a great experience….I
am sure the neighbors were
wondering what kind of insanity
was going on at our house
and we could only imagine
what they were thinking. “Every
night like clock work they
put out these red packages
on the step, ring the doorbell
and run for the hills. They
have been doing this for
days….What is going
on over there? Have they
gone mad?” Oh the
things we do as parents
to bring extra joy to our
children’s lives.
Have I gone crazy? Yes without
a doubt I am crazy. The
very moment my children
were born and when I saw
their faces for the first
time, I fell CRAZY
IN LOVE with them. And every
day, that love for them
just gets crazier.
