Jeremy did it! He earned his first Matchbox car for staying dry for seven days! We've been giving him fruit snacks each time he goes potty and about a week and a half ago Nathan made up a potty chart for him. Jeremy has to stay dry (meaning no pee diapers, but a poop diaper is ok) in order to put a star on the chart. At the end of seven dry days (not necessarily consecutive) he gets a Matchbox car, like he did tonight. Then his next goal is to stay dry for 6 days, then 5, 4, and so on down to one. At the end of each goal he gets a Matchbox car until we reach the last day (by which point he should be completely potty trained) when he will get a "Big Prize" which will be Diego underwear. I forgot that was supposed to be the Big Prize and already opened them and put them in his dresser, but he doesn't know this. And since I'm the only one who opens that dresser, I'm likely to be the only person in the apartment to see them until he actually earns them.
This method worked great with Megan. After she earned her Big Prize she did have a few accidents, but we cured that by telling her that the Disney Princesses on her panties didn't want her to wear them anymore because they were afraid that she would pee and poop on them. Her eyes got really big and she promised she would never have another accident again.
I'm so proud of my little Jeremy! Good job, bud!

we use to do the same thing about saying that the characters didn't want to be peed or pooed on.
congrats jeremy!
hooray for another potty trained kid!! (I wish...)
potty training is my least favorite element in motherhood! so much commitment!
oh, and congratulations!
Great job Jeremy! We have been working with Jacob but it has been slow.
Excellent work with the Disney Princesses and Diego. That method worked great for me, I would never have DREAMED of peeing on He-Man when I was a kid.
