We have tried for many months to get Josiah potty trained and have yet to get anything to work. With the recent months happenings he seems to have regressed a bit. With my being on bed rest for 2 months and not being able to help with that matter, and he was so mixed up with where we lived. Now that my health has gotten better, and Josiah is more calm and comfortable here, I have decided to immerse ourselves back into potty training.
So today we put on underwear right away this morning and I have been taking him to the bathroom every 30 minutes or so. We have potty books and I got some potty training videos and I have been talking to him about being a big boy. If I am missing something here, please tell me. Before, when we did potty training we gave him M&M's after each potty he did in the toilet but that doesn't seem to make any difference to him. So I am not doing that today. How do I get him to tell me when he has to go though? Will that just come in time?
Potty training has to be one of the most frustrating parts of raising children. If anybody has any great ideas that worked for them, I would be up for suggestions. For now though, I just plan to keep on taking him to the bathroom and playing video's for him. We shall see how this week goes. Keep us in your prayers and thoughts this week. Thank you.
Blessing to you all.

Jenn -- the last time I worked on this project it was for Brad. Yes, eons ago. Anyway, the book I used then suggested giving lots of liquids while you are taking him to the bathroom every thirty minutes. Just offer him a variety of drinks -- each new one will seem like a treat. There is also the sinking the floating cheerios. We didn't try this part but some people have. Works best with the father's help. :-) Good Luck, Sula
