I can just see you herd your herd into the loos in winter gear and leave in springtime!<br /><br />I didn't have huge problems training Wiiboy, which was good.I didn't bother even trying to train him til he was 3 yrs old. Worked well for us. Until there was an issue visiting in-laws who didn't accept diagnosis....that set ue back about 6 weeks! Sigh..!<br /><br />xx Jazzyjazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-57092052662812922022011-01-14T20:38:35.452-05:002011-01-14T20:38:35.452-05:00My son is six years old, and I think we're alm...My son is six years old, and I think we're almost done potty training. It's been a long haul. Now he just needs to concentrate while going pee so that he doesn't overshoot ;)<br /><br />So we're using my Tag Along Adventure token economy system (found on Etsy.com) to help motivate him. Rewards work for Drew, thankfully!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your potty training story!<br /><br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050838855888422622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-80154029134066321332011-01-13T15:32:47.117-05:002011-01-13T15:32:47.117-05:00Actions and consequences still aren't the boys...Actions and consequences still aren't the boys' strongest points, so we think we're going to have to tweak the ideas a bit.

I'll be met with a chorus of "Oh no-not me" Until we are somewhere totally inconvenient..sigh...;0<br /><br />@bbsmum-I absolutely understand what you mean..There are times when at least with a diaper you didn't have to worry..Also(my boys are big) taking one in to the bathroom can lead to unpleasantness from other people..<br /><br />@AMR-thanks :)<br /><br />@Kwombles-no-never ever taken for granted! :)<br /><br />@Angela-hahahahaha! You are probably right! ;0<br /><br />@Lynn-ha! It wasn't planned-it just wound up being that way..<br /><br />@Stephanie-This took a long time-a lot of patience-BUT it also made it HIs accomplishment-his choice..which I think helped. Once I took my needs out of the equation, it went smoother. I also knew without a doubt that he was ready and capable-that he had control (there were incidents when he would do certain things on purpose-because he could) So I didn't feel bad about being so vigilant. The hardest part for me was sticking to my guns and not giving in. I feel like what could have been an awful and traumatic experience for him-became a gentle transition..although he wasn't too happy about it in the beginning.<br /><br />@Looking for blue sky-I will never take it for granted. Funny though-something that was so hard and huge to do...I've yet to meet anyone who remembers when they were potty trained-nor anyone who asked "how old were you when..?"

My daughter..aka She With the Wee Small Bladder...has to GO, much more frequently than I would like or is convenient. She does go before we leave the house, and about 70% of the time, still has to go once we get to the store. Fortunately, our "herd" is not so big. <br /><br />Great post!Life in the House That Asperger Builthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13714713408051797353noreply@blogger.com
