Potty training,
Need I say more? While Kyla seamed interested, Brev dosen't. However he is almost three and I would LOVE not to have 2 children in diapers. We tried a while ago, and it really didn't work. So we waited a few months and we are out to try it again. But who knew that a little boy could go to the bathroom so much!
He is very different from Kyla, and I don't know if it is a boy thing or what. Any ideas on potty training a boy? I could use all the help i can get.
Signed

I'm actually in the middle of potty-training Hayden. We have a sticker chart, and he gets a sticker every time he uses the big potty (2 stickers for #2). When he fills the chart he'll get a t-ball set, which he is really excited about. It's been working really well so far! Good luck!
Dear Frustrated Mom:
I feel for you. I detest potty training. I finally just put Alan in underwear and let him go - he hated the wet feeling in his clothes so that helped. I also took Shelly's advice and made him clean up his messes which was HUGELY time consuming (because he would clean it up and then I would have to clean him up and then clean up the mess my self) but he definitely didn't like cleaning up. Also, I bribed him with skittles (one skittle every time he went potty on the toilet, and a sucker for going #2). After combining all these things we finally had success. Good luck!

I have no advice except good luck!
I set a timer and every time that timer went off (15 mins) it was M&M TIME!!! I would sit him on the toilet and he went and got an M&M. If he went poopeys then he got a sucker. I can't believe kids can go pee so much. Chris said, he may not get potty trained but he may become a diabetic (from so much chocolate). We really stressed to him that babies wear diapers and big boys wear pull-ups. He had Lightning McQueen pull-ups and we stressed that he didn't want to get them dirty or he would have to be a baby again and wear diapers the rest of the day. We only let him have one pull-up a day. He finally got the pooping in the toilet down but the peeing he would do if he had pull-ups on so I was brave and took him to the store the first thing when he woke up and he got to pick out BIG BOY UNDERWEAR!! He was quite excited about this. I bought like 15 pairs and that first morning he peed himself 3 different times in a couple hours. I was quite frustrated but kept going. I would tell him how unhappy that made mommy when he peed in his underwear and pants. He didn't like being in wet clothes. I would also stress how happy it made me when he peed and pooped in the toilet. I felt like I lived in that bathroom. We also had "poop stories" in the bathroom. Every time he started to go poop, I would read him a story so that he had time to get it all out. We started the beginning of January and I now feel like he is potty trained (for the most part). Right now we are working on the not peeing at night. We had so many diapers left I wanted to use them all before we moved to the next step. Hope this story help a little.
