Well today I realized the grave mistake I have made in rewarding Ethan with gummy bears and gummy worms when he pees in the potty. My problem ? The only time I have been able to actually get him to pee on the potty is first thing in the morning. Yep sleep still crusted in the corner of his eyes, sheet creases on his face, morning breath and all - it's the perfect time to get him to go as it usually ends in success. On to the problem. Today he tried but couldn't go, got off and decided to try 2 more times and finally - he peed! Of course as any parent of a 2-?year old knows they might forget to pick up their toys but they don't forget a treat they have been promised. So there we were at 8:00am- having 2 gummy bears and a worm for breakfast.

You're totally right...no child forgets the reward you've promised to them when they do something.
For the last year Andrew gets Spiderman chewies when he gets his poop out. But, hey...if it works, then who's to argue with it.
