Christopher has now entered the stage of imaginary friends. It is so cute. His two new friends are "Vika and Auto". He talks about going to school alot too. He is always going off to school with Vika and Auto. I would love to try and start a pre-school program but I am having a heck of a time with potty-training. I have obviously successfully trained three girls, but my little boy wants NO part of it. When I try the underpants, he says that he is scared and needs a diaper. He begs "please Mommy, please!" I feel so bad. I've tried all of the standard responses and nothing works (even tried bribery)...any advice out there??

cute pic!
What worked with my son was going in with his father and cheerio bombing! You put cheerios in the toilet (they float) and then you have your son aim at them like targets. Sounds strange I know but it works but if he is resistent then offer a small toy or prize if he hits one.
Just start taking him in the bathroom after drinks and meals and saying to him, "it's time to try and go potty." He will resist but sometimes you just have to keep trying and I wouldn't take away his diaper yet especially if he is attached. The cheerios thing works too. Gives him something to aim for.:) But don't ask him if he needs to go make your request a mandatory statement that he HAS to try. And praise him for every little step big time!!! Good luck!!!!
