Niklas is finally potty training

So today I decided that I have had it with diapers. When Nik woke up this morning I put him in underwear and have been making him sit in the bathroom every 20 minutes so far he has been doing pretty good. We have had only one accident all day. Unfortunately he hasn't gone number 2 yet but he has peed three times on the potty. I am so proud of him, but it is just the start. It has been a long struggle just to get him to go to the restroom. I have promised everything from a great big toy to a movie, nothing seemed to work but today I decided from the advice from my neighbor Amy that I would pay Niklas evertime he actually peed and we would put it in his bank and once that was full he could either take the money and buy something at the store or use it in Disneyland. He has decided that he wants to use it in Disneyland, I also told him we won't go to Disneyland until he has had no accidents. Since Disneyland is his favorite place to go it actually has been working. I am very happy with him right now hopefully tonight won't mess things up.

Good luck!! I have always heard that boys are so much harder to potty train than girls are. At least you have Disneyland as a bribe.

That's a good idea. I have been looking for ideas because Kylee is not interested in it at all. Anthony was a lot easier (thanks to Scott and his mom):)
