Thank goodness for mommy friends; at a recent play group while the children played, the moms and I were brainstorming ideas to get Logan to potty train. Someone suggested getting a few toys and putting them up on a shelf where he could see, then explain that he must go on the potty to get a new toy. The immediate reward was what he needed. Over the weekends I went out and picked up some candy, small toys, and play dough pizza shop (it was on sale for $4 at Target). He saw the toys and candy and of course wanted them. After explaining that he had to sit on the potty (something he hates) and wear his big boy underware (again something else he hates) then he could get a small treat out of the bag. He did both and chose Toy Story 3 stickers! Then he wanted the play dough shop. He had to pee on the potty to get that. He peed and we celebrated! We danced, we sang the pee pee song, we cheered, we jumped for joy, we carried on and then we broke out the play dough. I am proud of my boy. Day 2 is tomorrow. I hope it easy on us both:)
I have a picture of him standing next to his potty but he is nude and I don't want that on they blog, but I have it to show his wife someday;)
Of Course we had to take a picture of the pee pee. He took out the little pee holder and peed directly on the seat. As long as he peed I don't care where it was!
His reward - play dough!
So happy making play dough pasta.
Yay Logan Logan! You pee peed in the potty!
