Potty Training


To start getting Mason ready for the idea we checked a few books out from the library about the potty. One was about all these different animals and how they all got "a potty for their bottoms" I found this on the floor and asked Mason what it was and he said all the animals were sitting on the potty. He picked out Cars and Spiderman undies, but since he had an accident in them he refuses to wear them anymore (unless its on his head.) He does really well on the potty and goes every time he tries but he doesn't want to interrupt what he's doing to sit on the potty. Its a struggle getting him to try. This might be a slow going process. I'm not sure what to do to motivate him. We are using candy right now. I might start a sticker chart to earn a toy or something like that. Any tips or advice would be appreciated!

Mason--You made your Aunt Allison laugh so hard she almost peed her pants. See? We all have accidents sometimes. Just ask Aunt Debby.

FYI: Captain Underpants wears HIS underwear--and not just on his head. You should get a cape and you can be cool like Captain Underpants.

M&M's are motivation enough to make Ryley do anything! They worked wonders with potty training. I also used stickers, so I can't give you any other useful tips...sorry.
