Potty training weekend with Eli guy

Last weekend Korry and kennadee went on a trip to Wyoming, leaving Eli and I home to work on potty training. A few people had suggested a method they used where you get rid of all distractions, including other family members, and work on potty training all day. So that is what we did all day for two days. While Korry golfed and neddy played with cousins, Eli played on his froggy potty.
I gave him lots to drink in a special spider man cup and way more treats than I ever would normally. The weekend went well and our kids both had fun. However I didn't get the result I was hopping for. Eli still only goes potty if I remind him, which isn't always easy. I typically use the timer on my phone and when he hears the alarm he knows it's time. Hopefully he'll get the hang of it soon because school starts in 3 weeks and his little brother comes in 5!

Here's Neddy going on a nature walk with her cousins.  They're so cute!

Here is our treat bucket.  I basically bought everything from the dollar store.  Every time Eli went potty he got to pick a treat OR a toy from the bucket.  There were times when he was literally just going into the bathroom so he could score something.  The problem is when you are going every thirty seconds nothing really happens ;)  But was trying so...

Showing off the sweet crayons he go from the prize bucket.

Check out these sweet toy store duds...

Showing off his big boy panties.  (That's what sister calls them)  

The sticker book.  He kept sticking them to his legs while he hung out on the potty.

Having snack time with mommy.  Pop tarts and spiderman apple juice!

At the end of the day, learning to potty is tiring work.
