This is how I found him about 5 mins after I told him that he could not have Spiderman candy for breakfast!
He’s almost, almost 3, and is seriously considering making this toilet thing a permanent part of his life! (At least I hope so!)
Now, to be totally honest with you, the potty training has been a little disastrous at times, like yesterday for example, when he wet himself, and the floor, THREE times! And then my husband couldn’t take it anymore and put him back into diapers!
Today however, I started him off with some dinosaur underwear… and although I try never to mislead my kids about anything, I said to him “you know, the dinosaur does not like pee pee, and he MIGHT bite you if he gets wet with pee pee!” I mean stranger things have been known to happen! 
Surprisingly, he was not scarred by this… he said “ok”… then miraculously he remembered to use the toilet when he needed to pee pee!!

I’ll have to tell my wife (Sue Olson) this technique – we may opt to use it on our 2yr 4mos old boy …stranger things have happened!!

I feel your pain on the potty training – it’s a total <span class=“caps”>DISASTER</span> in this house. I’m thinking I’ll get my Daughter some dinosaur underpants – I’m just that desperate!
Thoughts from Asiya
lol! a familiar story, occurs at my house daily! where can I buy dinosaur underpants?
Hahaha. It never <span class=“caps”>OCCURRED</span> to me that I could tell them that! And hey, if he wasn’t “scarred” then it’s all good, right? I will definitely try that approach when Scooby is old enough—which will be painfully soon!
