Potty Training

Well we've been at it for about three weeks now. Oma got the ball rolling for us and you'd think we would have been able to keep that ball rolling. Well... much to my dismay we have not made much progress... in fact we've regressed :-( It all started when we tried to go poo and it didn't come and didn't come, so we decided to let Nate run around bare buns for a few minutes before trying again. Soon Logan starting crying and I got totally distracted until I heard the words "poo poo Momma poo poo". Too Late :-( It was all over the white upholstered chair he was sitting on. LAME. It was all I could do to keep my sanity. Oh no Nathaniel, Oh no Nathaniel. And so I now keep him in a diaper at ALL times. I remember stories of when we were little getting M&Ms or Chocolate chips for using the toilet. So I started thinking about what Nate's incentive could be. I had some taffy and thought I would NEVER want him to have that except if it was something special and so there I had it! Nate's special treat for going poo in the toilet. So I didn't think that through all the way and now I'm sure we are going to have a terrible visit to the dentist someday! I should have thought of stickers as my incentive. Is it too late to switch?
