I've been reading all of the posts and just thought some of you might get a kick out of my situation! My son (nearly 3) suddenly showed a huge interest once the "stakes" were high enough. I offered him a matchbox car for each time he would urinate (yes, this is my first child). He went once and got one car which was very thrilling. Then nothing for a week. Suddenly, he decided he "needed" more cars and started going frequently. He is very bright, and I am almost positive he was rationing his urine to maximize the amount of cars he could get. He earned 25 cars in 2 days.....it was such a whirlwind that my better judgement had left. When I tried to wean him to 1 car per two times and then down to four times he quit. Anyway, we're still working on it! I am going to try some of the tips you have all shared. Name: Email: Subject
