Peanuts and Potty Training

Liam is halfway done with potty training.  Why halfway you might ask?  He has mastered going pee in the potty, and immediately wants a new pull up if he has an accident.  He does not like to be wet.

For some reason, he does not like to poop in the potty, so he holds it as long as he can.  Eventually he complains that his bottom and 'peanuts' hurt and wants medicine (aka diaper cream) on his bottom.  We make several trips to the potty where he claims 'no working now' or 'poop is sleeping' or just 'I NO WANT TO'.

So, for now, we encourage, we bribe and we wait.  We have a jar full of cars and balls that he can choose from when he goes poop in the potty, and he get's M&Ms as well.  He's had a few successes that we celebrate grandly hoping that he's finally on his way to being fully potty trained.  We'll get there soon enough.
