Weird. Smarties and stickers worked for Annika :o) I also let her pick out her own treats...gummies, etc, that she wanted as a treat for going on the potty-let her be a little more involved in the experience.Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05123936143732623483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-35977126517128161622008-08-13T10:11:00.000-07:002008-08-13T10:11:00.000-07:00opps a day early!opps a day early!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599282552630012337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-74391129073729141422008-08-12T23:40:00.000-07:002008-08-12T23:40:00.000-07:00Oh I have to add one more thing, you are looking h...Oh I have to add one more thing, you are looking hot in that picture! 30, having a baby, looking hot, and you have amazingly toned legs!

I never thought I would resort to chocolate, but it wored really well. Also, taking away the diaper and letting her go in her pants a few times so that she knew that the diaper wouldn't catch it. Not so great for the floors, but it worked really well! Maybe you could try that outside? But, as you probably know, boys are always harder to train than girls and generally don't get fully trained until they are closer to 3 years old. Difference in biology really plays a role in this one! Good luck and don't worry...it will happen when he is ready!Marsaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004554349567271016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-60588130571406162422008-08-12T15:50:00.000-07:002008-08-12T15:50:00.000-07:00Just thought I'd share how we did it for Quentin.W...Just thought I'd share how we did it for Quentin.<BR/><BR/>We got a timer with a button to push to turn off/reset the time when Quentin was getting ready to potty train (at about 3 years). We set it for 35 minutes, after which he had to sit on the potty and try. We had moved the potty to a corner in the basement near where we play so it wasn't a great inconvenience to him to go. By the time two weeks was up, he was asking us if he could just go when he wanted to, instead of with the timer, and that was it. I'm going to try it with Jade when I have her home the next two weeks. The day here and there we've done it it has worked well for her.The Jaded Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592312036413144156noreply@blogger.com
