I wanted to give him some incentive every time he actually goes potty. So I purchase a behavior chart and wrote "Potty" below his name. Every time he goes potty he gets to put a sticker on his chart. When the chart is all filled up, he get a little something.
So here is his first completed "Potty" Chart":
He picked a $2.00 ball from Target. We are so proud of him!!!

my boys and Sarah did the SAME thing!! took everything of below the belt! don't know what it is but if you don't let them take it off they don't go potty!! Josiah was so bad that i had to explain to his preschool teacher that he needs to be watch very close when he says he has to go potty...she asked why, and i said, you'll have a nude little boy running accross the room! he did it once and that was it! LOL !! oh to be a fly on the wall that day! shortly after that, he stopped feeling the "need" at home to run around!! good luck!
Timothy..is a different story. one day he walked in on Victoria going potty... he looked at her and then at me looked down at her again and with concern asked, "mommy what happen? me not missing a beat said, "she was playng with it and it fell off!" he was so upset, but i killed to birds with one stone..1.he never plays with himself and 2.i guess he is so afraid of what she will do to him since her "toy" fell off that he DOES NOT run out of the bath room unless he is covered up!! oh i know i lied, but as a parent one day i will tell him the real rason i told him that story!! and he too will think it's funny!! sometimes when it's silly thngs like this, you have to be creative!! right?? oh the stories we have as parents of boys!!

Ginger,
That is so funny! I read it to Noah and we couldn't stop laughing. Was it hard potty training your boys? How long did it take? Do you have any tips for a first time mom?

hey trisha!
not really any tricks! they go on their own time, if you rush then it will just back fire! but doing the reward thing is wonderful! Josiah actully started young and was done by 2 1/2 Timothy is now 4 and he still at times wakes up wet, but is dry ALL the time during the day. we just prayed and let him run with it, when he wanted to go we said okay. i've had friends have luck with the timer method, depending on how well Davis is doing, set it for 20 minutes, no matter what you are doing, when that timer goes off make sure he hears it and take him, if it works keep it at 20
minutes for a few days and then begin to space it out a little more... if he has an accident, take it back a few minutes. it just takes time, it is one thing we know as parents they will accomplish!! good luck.
ps glad my comment made you laugh, i have so many stories....should wirte a book!! LOL
Thanks Ginger that was helpful.
Aunt Bird, I have my pull up on!!! Love Davis
