First off, I let him run around naked a good bit (yes, there were puddles) so that he could associate the "feeling" with the "action." Then I started giving him stickers on a chart in the bathroom for each time he went even a little. This wasn't working working at first, so I added a "prize" for ten stickers (math skills too, check me out). This didn't prove any more successful until I hung the prizes on the wall. We earned 10 stickers in one day at one point. From there, I gradually weaned him from that practice and moved on to the other business. We still haven't broken from getting gummies when we do the other business, but for the most part, we're accident free. I also must add that I tried on three different occasions to potty train, but he was NOT interested. Once he was, he went from not pottying at Kim's house one week to wearing underwear the next. She won't go to school in diapers, and there's a chance she'll regress when the new babies come, so don't stress over potty business.<br /><br />Plus, CUTE names! I love 'em!!!Tiphanie Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833574174851962809noreply@blogger.com
