I get a sucker!

We've started potty training Crue. I had talked to a friend of mine to find out how she had potty trained her boy and am now doing the same thing with Crue. I take him every half hour and so far he has stayed dry as long as I take him (the time will gradually increase). He struggles with going poop though. He's done it before in the toilet but for some reason he won't do it now. He hides and does it in his underwear or diaper (he only wears a diaper for naps and at night). We decided to try offering a sucker if he goes poop in the toilet because he likes those. Still hasn't gone. Last night I was going to the bathroom (sorry if this is too much:)) when Crue came in and asked what I was doing. When I told him he tilted his head and asked, "you det a suter?" (he says the d sound for his c's and g's). I was laughing so hard. I told him, "yep, I get a sucker."

Every kid is different when it comes to potty training so every mom thinks she has the answers, and she does, for her own kids :) But- for poop, this is what worked for Turner. He had a hard time doing it in the potty too. It was very frustrating because he too had pooped in the potty (lots fo times really.) He would hold it and hold it and get constipated or end up having an explosive poop. So we went to the dollar store and I had him pick out like 10 things that he wanted and put them in a basket in the bathroom. They were just for poop and he could pick which ever one he wanted if he pooped in the potty. By the time the treats were all gone, he wasn't afraid anymore. Anyway- just something that worked for us!

Awesome....I love stories like this, hilarious! Good luck, yeah it is challenging to find what works for each kid. I'm sure you'll do it!
