What you need to know: We’re taking a pretty relaxed approach to potty training. We ask Tyler if he wants to use the potty, and let him decide. If he says he does, we encourage him and help him. We talk to him about pushing his pee-pees and poo-poos into the potty. Sarah’s had a couple positive results, while I’m always left with an empty potty when Tyler decides that he’s done. I made a deal with Sarah (that I won’t detail here) that has her stepping up her potty training game. Tyler says that he doesn’t want to try the potty more than he says he does, so Sarah offers incentive on occasion. In the form of an M&M.
Sarah: Tyler, do you wanna use the potty for one M&M?
Tyler: Two.
He ain’t no fool. Not my boy.

We use the M&M’s as a reward too. It works pretty good, but we still have to remind them (by them I mean 3 year twin boys) to use the potty. Still won’t go Poop though. Had a bad experience with a potty seat that pinched a bum. He is still a little scared of it. We just found a book that my help too. Its called Firefighters go to the Potty too. Which is fitting since I’m a firefighter.
We’ve made no progress with the potty training. I think we’ve actually gone backwards. Damn it.
