We are beginning the arduous process of potty training. Well, more accurately, we're starting the process without feeling too pressured! Tanner's been interested in sitting on the potty fully clothed, so we thought we'd give it a proper try. Our dilemma was he wouldn't sit on the potty very long or he'd get upset about it, so we introduced treats. And this boy loves his treats!
Today, he acted so interested, we bit the bullet and let him go pantsless to help him out. After one treat for sitting on the potty, we told him he'd have to go "pee pee" on the potty to get any more treats.
The child sat on the potty for 20 min., but to no avail! The video is at the end of our sitting. Notice how he tries to look to see if he peed! Right after we finished he got up and looked where I've been keeping the treats and the stinker found one I had missed. Then he proceeded to go on the floor about 5 min. later! Oh well, we're a work in progress!
DISCLAIMER: Ignore the no make-up and gross hair on me at the beginning of this!

John and i are planning on having a money jar and when they sit on the potty they get a penny when (and if) they go potty they will get a nickle.When they reach a dollar they can get something at the dollar store. I've babysat for a family who did this before (that's were I got the idea) and their little girl was counting the nickles up to ten and was asking how many pennies she had. I think it helps teach them math and how to save and the value of money all at once ,and is less sugar then a cookie or candy (so no bouncing off the wall for mommy to have to deal with). But boys might be different. I'm sure he'll get it real soon. he seem determined.
