The Potty Chart

After our first stab at potty-training I thought eight stickers per prize was too steep. We gave up after three stickers. Now we're on our second go-round. After one week of no day-time diapers, eight stickers is a breeze. He almost gets a prize a day. I should have stepped up the sticker increments for each prize after the first few.

The naked toddler approach took some friendly fire at a recent girls' night out, but I must say it has worked for us. Our only accident was while wearing underpants. While naked he hasn't had a single accident.

He also doesn't mind that we are using flower stickers that I've had since I was 13. It's about time I got rid of them. What was I saving them for? Not this.
