Diaper free....well almost.

There are so many ways to help motivate a child to potty train. Sticker charts, a new toy, new underwear, treats but I went with a different method. We started with an empty potty jar and every time Canyon went pee pee's we would put a pom pom in the jar, and every time he went poopies we put two white pom pom's in the jar. We made a deal with Canyon that if he filled the jar we would ride Thomas the Train aka Trax. It took about a week and a half and the jar was full. Way to go kid.
Saturday we made good 0n that promise. We went to dinner at noodles and then caught the train. Canyon was so excited he couldn't hide it.

We are on the right track. Most days consist of a couple accidents but that is to be expected. He is learning what the sensation is and following the urge. So now the jar is empty again and we need a new incentive. I was thinking the Aquarium. Any Ideas??

  1. We are totally in the same boat right now!! Hadley is doing amazing... with the reward of some game time at Chucky Cheese (Her request)

    Ask Canyon what he wants to be his next potty reward! You might be surprised!!

    Good luck!!
