    That's funny, because M&Ms are what I'm using to bribe my daughter to go on the potty too...

    Have you tried sprinkling a few Cheerios in the bowl for target practice?

    If it weren't for M&Ms, my kids would still be in diapers and I'm not kidding. And their ages are 20, 18, 15, and 14. Thank god for the motivating power of little tablets of candy-coated chocolate.

    That's how we trained our kids. Of course we didn't know we could do that in public too.

    M & Ms are like the magic bullet of potty training... Though, this does beg the question, what else will he do for M&Ms? Clean his room? Take out the trash?

    hahahahahaha. We used Sweet tarts with my daughter. But then she was going to the potty to dribble one drop of pee every 10 minutes or so, and I never got any work done...

    Toss in a couple of Cheerios to aim for and you'd have my potty training strategy.

    I agree with the target practice ideas but honestly you must know that if there are cheerios on the floor...well, they skip across the floor too.. Just sayin'.

    But it's still awesome, O Captain, my Captain. Bribery is making a comeback!

    He is so ridiculously cute.

    Also, he will probably kill you for taking that picture when he is 16 or so. Been nice knowing you.

    Is that the exchange rate in Canada on M&M's? Sprite only gets 2 M&M's for pooping in the potty. 1 M&M for peeing. She shall never see this picture, or we may have to move to Canada...

    Sounds like a good deal to me. I'd pee in my potty for m+m's too.

    Good luck with that. My boy is 5, and while he does pee in the potty, he's a terrible aimer. I'm forever cleaning up splashes on the floor and seat. It's like he's puttin out a bathroom fire with his little hose.

    I love that sign. You really must blow it up and save it for when he's older ;)

    and you must save this as blackmail for the teenage years. "Won't clean up after yourself, huh? Remember THE SIGN?"

    the Great Races of Europe,supported

    Cute :) Can he read? I'm guessing not otherwise he'd have an attitude towards you by now. If he can, the smile is deceiving and you can look fwd to years of therapy for the humiliation, followed by drug addicition or alcoholism. Just sayin'...

    What's the going rate for poop? A Baby Ruth bar?

    Maybe I could entice my husband to have better aim if I offered him some M&M's.

    Best smile I have seen all day!

    All you M&M people got off easy! My kids could not be bought- especially for doing #2. I tried everything including matchbox cars. Finally, one day, months after I gave up on him, he just decided that enough was enough and that was the end of it.

    Well, hello friend. Missed ya. There's a homeless man around the corner from my office that has a similar sign, except he does VERY different things for M&Ms. He can also stick his foot in his mouth. The whole thing. I saw him do it once. All I had on me was half of a snickers bar and a handful of tootsie rolls. It was so worth it. You should also know that your son is so very much cuter AND he has way more teeth. Missed you.

    Okay, so I just went back and read all your coments here. Does Gigalo mean the same thing in the great white north as it does here? Please, please tell me it does. I heart your mom even more now.

    I tried M & Ms for my son. didn't work. Nothing worked. The kid was 3 1/2 and still diapers. He was dry in the morning, so I knew he was ready. But he was just too lazy to come in to go pee. FINALLY, one day he said, "Mommy, I'm 4." I said, "you can't be 4. Boys who are 4 don't wear diapers." And that was that.
    My younger daughter? I put the potty in the bathroom when she was 23 months. she yelled PEE PEE! and she was trained. I kid you not!
