Gummy Bears

Why in the world would I be writing about gummy bears, well you see this is the "thing" that we are using as a reward system for our 2.5 yr old son who is in the midst of potty training. It the one thing that he truely loves! So for being a big boy and going to the potty he is rewarded with two gummy bears. We started this this past Monday and the boy has taken to the potty chair like you would not believe. And let me say when he does pee in the potty, we have this little cheer session for a moment and give high five's, hugs, woohoos, praise and even a dance ever now and then, but the one thing he is set on are those "2 glorious gummy bears" for his performance. Today is Friday and after this week we are doing good, he has remained dry all day long and has even taken it on himself to go to potty on his own. He is even waking up from nap time and night time dry....maybe just maybe we have hit on something. This may not work for every child, but its working for ours. So lets hope that this is the beginning being a big boy and the end to diapers/ pull-ups as we know it.
