Aaron on rainbow colored poo-poo.

Ok... so Nnifer & I haven't had kids yet, but in the daily speak with my Customers who are mainly young mothers, I get more than my fair share of advice on just about everything... including, but not limited to potty training children.

My Parents generally used the no pants long shirt method. I seem to be able to relieve myself alright, so I think this works. "The kid knows when he goes".

Moria - a jar of chocolate chips on the toilet, when her kid does his business he gets one... he'll probably never be able to relieve himself without eating chocolate... hmm...

Jean - when her boys we're little she'd put Cheerio's in the toilet and "let them have target practice". She also puts red food coloring in the toilet for the girls, thus when the business is done it's turns pink, and for the boys blue, which turns green. This is called the "Magic Water" method. She has also used M&Ms - plain for pee, peanut for a bowel movement. "Yes, my kids are potty trained! ... just too bad their teeth are all filled with cavities!" When she was on WIC many years ago there was a cereal which gave kids rainbow colored bowel movements... yikes!

This wraps up today's banter.

What methods worked for your kids? Aaron

Cheers.

Aaron...

where'd I put those chocolate chips? I gotta go...
