My name is Bonnie and I have a four and a half year old who is not potty trained. Sometimes I feel like I should have a t-shirt made up that confesses that fact or I should wear the equivalent of a scarlet letter. I have read countless advice about the subject and we decided not to force the issue. But Ben has NO interest. And I mean NONE. We have tried everything, including bribery to no avail. Tears have been shed, mean things have been said. Quel nightmare. But there is light at the end of this tunnel. Josh found a solution that seems to be working and we have made great progress this week. He bought Ben a watch that beeps every hour to tell Ben to go use the potty. That way we are not the ones telling him, but the watch is. And he seems to like the watch much better than us. So here are some pics of the boys doing their duty (Sam thinks this is a cool pastime and should be potty trained any time now). And for those of you who feel compelled to offer advice, please restrain yourselves : )
