Redemption
The boy. He has finally redeemed himself.
While Gavin was struggling to take a poop (yes, in his diaper... I have decided his college roommates can potty train him), he informed me "mommy, it's hard to poop." In my very best dietetic tone I told him, "well, you know what you need to eat more of", to which he gleefully replied "FIBER!!!!!!!!!". I asked him "do you know what foods have fiber in them?" and he answered "kashi, fruits, and vegetables."
Then later that day he came across a magazine I left in the living room and said "oh, I need to put this up!" So he picked up the magazine and put it in the bathroom.
Ok, so my kid can't crap in a toilet BUT he has a firm grasp on the nutrional/gastrointestinal implications of fiber, good dietary sources of soluble and insoluble fiber, AND the need for reading materials in the bathroom.
Booyah.

My children read while pooping on the potty and there is nothing weird about it. Good for the Gavinator!
One thing at a time.
Yeah Gavin! Ha!! Hey, I'm stalking you from Flickr. I just got my nearly 4yo boy potty trained by bribing and lying to him. Good, I knew you would approve :-) I had Buzz Lightyear call him (dad) and Buzz left a couple of small presents for him on the bathroom counter and a grand prize present for him to earn. He got the small ones with each poopy on the potty and the grand prize after that. It worked great. I couldn't believe he fell for it. Buzz kept calling to encourage him. Sucker!! I thought the same thing, I thought for sure he'd still be in pull-ups in college and I'd be nursing my girl in her dorm LOL!! Good luck.
LOL! Thankfully the Terrors potty trained fairly easily. However, I'm sure that if I asked them now, they probably couldn't tell me that they need fiber! :)
He's halfway there then. :)
We're all set with pee, but I keep hearing "I prefer to poop in diapahs." Which means I have to hand over a diaper, let him poop, then give him another one (all that fiber), repeat. Such a waste.
He laughs at my bribes.
perfect!
That's funny. Sounds like you've got a smart boy there.
My 4yr old daughter can stay dry at night, but only if she wears a pull-up. No pull-up, and she will pee the bed.
I don't get kids sometimes...
