The last 3 or so months we have been trying hard to break Hyrum's bad habit of sucking his thumb. But nothing has really worked and I end up asking Hyrum about 50 times a day to please stop sucking his thumb and pull his thumb out of his mouth another 200 times a day. Then a few days ago Jeremy told him it wasn't good for his teeth (which we have told him multiple times already) and that if he kept sucking his thumb he would have beaver teeth that stick out. I tell you what, ever since that happened I have not seen Hyrum suck his thumb ONCE! Now all we need is something like that to motivate him to use the toilet..........

Logic works on kids huh? I think they comprehend more than we give them credit for sometimes!
You could tell him that if he doesn't use the potty, his weiner will fall off.
Jeremy said something only a boy would say. . . . but I guess it worked, didn't it?! :)
As to potty training, well, whatever you do, don't make a big deal about him not training in front of him or he seriously will never train!!! :D A friend of mine made that mistake, and she's really regretting it now!
What a great way to break him of the habit. I'm glad he doesn't look like a beaver. And....
Hopefully he will be trained soon for you.
It sounds like you have been having an adenture lately. I am glad that you have been having a good time over the last month. I love the story about the beaver teeth and how to have a kid stop sucking their thumb.
well lou, if he's anything like you, then hunter will probably be potty trained before he is.... oh well.
