I got the better ones too. My dd#2 was dry when she woke up in the
morning and after naps WAY before she was willing to sit on the toilet
(when she was barely 2). That took another 6 months and a bit of
bribery. DD#1 was trained by my mom while she babysat when we were
going to find a house to live in in California. I don't remember the
others, but once they were trained during the day, they were trained
at night too.

It wasn't until I read stuff here that I realized that anyone had any
problems with this although I have some problems myself now. But that
isn't quite the same. I do have one granddaughter who is 5 who isn't
trained at night and I was able (do to raised consciousness) to tell
my dd that it was pretty much normal and not to worry about it.
