Argh. We are rapidly approaching the first anniversary of DS using the potty. Although he's doing a pretty good job of staying dry, he has yet to poop in the potty. Because of this, I've elected to keep him in Pull ups. Daycare is putting a lot of pressure on him to potty train, and in fact were sneaking big boy pants on him during the day until I told them to stop. DH and I have fought about it more times than I can count, but I sincerely believe that when the time is right, it will happen.
In the meantime, DS and I regularly discuss what DVD he will pick out when he poops in the potty (we have promised him that the first time he poops in the potty we will drop whatever we are doing and go straight to the store to get a new DVD. Daycare has been informed of this as well.), we sing our "Poop in the Potty" song CONSTANTLY, and we dump his poopy diapers in the potty and make a big deal of flushing every time. What else should I be doing?
