Potty Training Tips?

Cody is 4 and shows little interest in potty training. He knows what it is and what he is supposed to do, but seems content in his diapers. Not that I can blame him. It is much easier to have someone else take care of changing a diaper for you instead of taking the time to go to the bathroom and do it yourself, right? =)

We have tried the Elmo Potty Book and Elmo Potty Movie. We even tried his brother’s favorite DVD and CD, Once Upon a Potty. He showed no interest in the “old school” animation and laughed at it!!!!

I would love to hear any tips or tricks that you used to get your little one potty trained!

  2. Apparently, today at school he sat on the potty and tried. When he came home, he told me and signed repeatedly that he wanted to potty and we would go sit on it. No luck yet, but at least he is showing interest in using the potty as something other than a hat and toy holder. =)

  3. There is a "potty training" guide from the NDSC. I think it is a power point format. We will be starting this with Nichole soon. If you cannot find it at their site, I do have that and can pass it along to you!
