Potty Training Log, Day--Oh, who even cares anymore?

I thought my faithful readers of the Potty Training Log (all three of you) deserved an update. We have decided to take a step back and take a break from the training. He can technically go to the bathroom in a toilet but he just does not have the drive to do so with any consistency. We had days when he would not make an effort even once, and then days when he'd be dry all day. It was just getting too frustrating for all of us--and as we know, you can't force someone to use a toilet (if you believe otherwise, please come spend a day with my son). We'll try again in a month or so.

Jude didn't do it until he was ready. Despite how hard we tried. Gabe and Cole were trained by 2 - 2 1/2 but Jude held out until 3. I was so scared I was going to have a 4 year old in diapers, so I get what you are saying about not being able to force someone to use a toilet.
Jude didn't start it on his own until the baby sitter bribed him with a cookie. Then he was full force and ready to go. Of course we tried bribing at on point but it didn't work until he was ready.
Good luck!
