Ugh. I am potty training. Now, I know how to take care of some business, but I sure can't get my child to take care of it on the potty. Monday we had our second, deep-in-the-trenches potty session. No pants, no diaper, just some liquids, The Wonder Pets, and a potty seat. Nothing. Nothing in the potty for two hours. NOTHING! I mean that girl was chugging some chocolate milk, apple juice, anything I gave her! Not a drop. Now she did tell me that she needed a diaper to go poopie. And poopie she did. And did. And did. Or is it doo-doo-doo? (Sorry if I'm grossing you out, but I am trying to take a humorous approach to a very frustrating process.)
So we are approaching the three-year milestone with no desire to learn to use the potty and be a big girl. My child doesn't typically respond to bribes, so I'm not sure the you get a sticker, candy, ice cream treat, or sports car will work. Next Monday I'm going to try M&M's. (Once at Wal-Mart, I put a bag in the cart and she almost began to cry because, "They make me so happy, Mommy!") If anything might work, they might. That is if I can refrain from eating them myself. Note to self: MUST BUY THEM SUNDAY NIGHT, NOT A WHOLE WEEK AHEAD OF TRAINING DAY!
Soooooo, that's it. Unless any of you have any bright ideas??? Help!

Hey Carey! Love the blog and being able to keep up with you guys from Nashvegas! Re: potty training. M&Ms are great. I potty trained Miss C in five days with no regression (yet) 3 months later with chocolate! It really took five days of sitting at home and staying glued to her side to get it done. It finally clicked on day 5 (she also ate a whole bag of hershey kisses that day too!). Good luck!
