At one point about 18 months ago Korbin was super interested in being potty trained. I wasn't ready (I was 9 months prego) & he wanted to use the real toilet & he was just too little. After Thaddeus rocked his world it's pretty much been a flip of the coin on when he's interested. He is now 3. I know that him using diapers is pretty convinent for me but he's 3 & it's getting expensive. He has realized that he holds the power. I can't make him use it. I also can't not change his diaper (not that he just doesn't take it off himself if I'm taking too long for his liking). So I'm trying bribing, I guess it's more reward but it feels like bribing. He has repeatedly asked for the same toy. It has now become "the reward". Every time he goes he gets a sticker. When he fills up the chart he gets the toy. I guess if it works some toys are way cheaper than cases of diapers....
we finally just got the hang of potty training (3 years also). We used a potty sticker chart, m&m's and toys all at the same time. Also, a trip to the spaceship toystore after the sticker chart was filled, was a super fun incentive.
