Potty trials

K is now almost 3 1/2 and still not using the potty. This would not be a problem if he would just stop pooping in his Pull-ups, then take it off in the middle of the carpeted living room and leave a big mess. Plus, I know he has the ability, he simply has no desire to try.

So, today we were at the toy store and went through the potty section. He seemed very interested in picking out a potty, but couldn't decide on which one. At one point he had three different ones off the shelf and a fourth he was looking at. He even seemed quite interested in the pink princess potty chair, he loved the sound it makes. If it'd help him use the potty, I'm all for it, the only problem was it had no "pee guard" for boys since it was - of course - meant for girls. I also should point out that we have a potty. We bought one for him two years ago when he first started showing signs of being interested in the potty. Must be part of the age, because T is quite interested in the potty right now too, even insisting that we take his clothes off so he can sit on it and try.

Tomorrow K and I will go back to the store and see if we can't get him to pick out his own potty chair. And at this point, I have no problem bribing the heck out of him if it means he will finally find some reason to use the potty! So the grand master plan is to buy a new potty and just reward the heck out of him all weekend and see what happens.
