So Elijah is doing pretty well w/ the potty training except el numero dos (aka poo poo). We think he is scarred of doing the deed in the toilet and things are starting to get a little 'backed up'. Advise? I'm thinking of getting him some X-lax or something so he doesn't blow a gasket. We've tried setting the portable DVD player on the bowl and turning him around to watch it so he can just relax and let things happen naturally, but it just aint working out so well. Poor kid.

Good luck with all of that and make sure to take notes of everything so I can come to you when Chloe is ready to do her business.
Liz I've been looking for my blue cardigan and pendant...was that them in your milk shot???
ummm. I tried to attempt potty training and it got crazy with the holidays so I gave it a rest. I learned a lot of valuable things. One...they are scared to poop. One day Mason pointed to his bum and said, "mom eat...eat mom" I was a little nervous that he thought his bumb "ate" gross I know! I think it freaks them out that stuff is coming out of them. TO get mason to poop I gave him prunes and milk. Sure to do anyone in! :) Have fun. hope this helps:)
Co did that too. Give him LOTS, and I mean LOTS, of fruit and juice. It also helps to talk about the poops like they are people. I'm not kidding. "Let the poo poos go swimming in the water! Weeeeee! Round and Round! Bye Poo poos! See you later!" And then of course an extra special treat for handling business. Ours was a Starburst, I think. He only gets it when he poos in the pot.
We bought Logan a special toy that he could only play with after he went on the potty. Good luck. I'm attempting this with Ashleigh right after Christmas.
Let him see that you guys do it to and maybe he won't be so afraid. If that doesn't gross you out.
Oh boy, just catch him when he's trying to go #2 then run him to the toilet. May or may not work. The first time Lucas did it and saw it go bye bye down the hole he freaked, he calls it a either a snake or a bugga bugga? why? Only he knows. Try baby sipositorys they work like a champ.
