Baby steps?! (Potty/GHIII Update)

I thought it would take two weeks but it took only one. lil'daddy got to his 30 pts quickly but we are not yet consistently going to the potty. We enacted a 'potty to play' rule and he has been going sporadically.

We needed another reward to further our efforts but the only one the boy is interested in now is Rock Band! He was given several other alternative choices but he seems to be focused on guitars! Rock Band, for those that don't know, is the game that incorporates the playing of guitars, microphones and drums into the gameplay. We already have guitars and mics that we could use, so I think we only have to get the game itself and no peripherals! Sadly playing the drum controller would be the closest to the actual way you play the real instrument but they are not available separately. At least he could take those skills to a real drum kit (btw no gift ideas!! besides, he already has a 3 piece kit).

Lil'daddy has set the goal of 101 pts for Rock Band. I told him that if he wears underwear at home (staying dry in them or even if he has an accident) for a whole day then he would get 10 points. A dry pull-up for a day is also worth 10 pts. Trys are still 1 pt, pees are worth 2 and poops are 5. We'll see how this goes...

I'll try to change the subject and get some pictures up of the boy. We wouldn't want to start scaring people away with all this potty talk!

btw I realize how obnoxious the animated pic is... more the reason to start burying it with another -topic changing- post!

Potty/GHIII Progress

I'm getting the feeling were not establishing that pee and poo belong in the toilet. I'm afraid after we reach our goal, he's not going to want to try anymore. I'm sure the boy just wants Guitar Hero. At least were getting him on the bowl again though!

Seeing how GHIII seems imminent, I'll take a cue from Andrea and institute a 'potty to play' rule. I'm also starting to think of another goal/prize to work for next. Building upon this experience, I think we will weigh pee less, poo about the same, and maybe emphasize a reward for wearing underwear at home or having a dry pull-up. hmmmm.
