Potty Training

Uh, yeah. Well, suffice it to say that potty-training under the best of circumstances is a bear. Add two trying to train at the same time plus the added complication of autism and you have the basis for a new reality show.

Let's put it this way, I am so glad we've replaced most of the carpet in our house with laminate flooring. Clean-up is a breeze.

Peter will be five in a month and this is probably the third time we've attempted potty-training. He seems to take an interest in it and then regresses.

Nathan on the other hand is taking to it like a duck to water. His developmental delays have gotten in the way some so he is still struggling to tell me he has to use the restroom. Like most kids, he also forgets about toilet training when he's really involved in something. But slow progress is still progress.

Oh, and M & Ms make great incentives.

One of mine with the heavy OCD tendencies was easy, just had to be clean, the other took quite a bit longer as I recall and several tonnes of M & M's.
Cheers
lol-- I bought the big bag of M & Ms. I have a feeling we'll be going through many of them, too.
