One of the upsides of potty training is that my floors are now so clean, one could almost eat off them! Other than that, the drudgery continues. I've offered stickers, trains, popsicles. I've even resorted to a full day of fun at- gasp!- Chuck E. Cheese. He wants the rewards, but not willing to go 'woo woo' just yet. Exasperating, I tell ya.
Add to that, the summer's stolen half my brain, so that all I can do is think thoughts of vacation, relaxing, and swim lessons. And yes, the potty training bit.
For the writers out there, did you know the summertime's a great time to submit? A few reasons why are, agents love to read fresh material in the summer as well as the rest of normies, there's less competition, plus you get a leg up for the fall while others take time off. Not that I've done any of this, but thought I'd pass on useful infom.
OK, back to the grind.
Hope your summer's going swell!

Where's the fun in potty training? I wish someone could make it at least a little interesting for all of us tired moms. Thanks for the info about summer being a good submission time. That's helpful to all of us hoping to sneak something in under the door:) Glad to hear that you survived Chuck E. Cheese.
aww, I am sorry! I hope he gets it! :)
We used marshmallows--the little multi-colored ones. Does that help? You've tried naked in the backyard, right? He can pee right there in the grass, right? If I think of more ideas, I'll pass them along. Good luck!
thanks for the tip about submitting in the summer. i have so many article ideas swirling around in my brain. time to sit down and start writing and submitting!!!
(oh and we're back in pull-ups over here. my guy was doing so well and then we went on vacation. and now we're starting over...)
One day it will just be a miracle and will click for him. Try cheerios in the toilet? Aim and fire....
Submitting really fits well with summer. For some reason my brain still functions on school-mode, so come fall I start writing more. In the summertime I relax more and find it hard enough to lick stamps and seal envelopes!
