I am convinced that Davis knows exactly what to do in regards to the potty; however, he seems to be more interested in training his animals and his sister to use the potty than consistently using the potty himself. This was the scene in our bathroom.....Davis assists the elephant, the giraffe, and the tiger in going potty. He tells each of them good job and gives them a hug after they go. He wanted to give them candy but I told him the animals were just happy because they are big kids that use the potty. He also assisted Diana by having her sit on the potty. Diana did not receive any positive reinforcement as Davis determined that she did not go in the potty. He told her "it's ok Dia". Davis himself used the potty zero times yesterday. I am convinced that one of these days he will just show more interest. He knows what to do he just doesn't want to do it. I've been told by many experienced Moms to not put the pressure on or he'll resist even more so here we are with our almost 2.5 year old just waiting for him to be more interested...oh what a great day it will be!! Right now he wants to "wear diapers like Dia". He was doing so good for a few weeks and now he is on potty strike. I'll update again when he's 3!!!
