The Token Box

Dawson has been very difficult to 'finalize' in the potty training department...I won't go into details, but we had tried just about everything & I was about to resign to having a diaper budget until the kids went to college. Then, my pediatrician told me about this idea. You have the kids make a token box & every time they poop on the pot, they get to put a token in it. Dawson had a blast decorating his box...he told me exactly what colors he wanted & what he wanted it to say, and that he wanted pink bows on the top! Then, the second he finished his box...he went straight to the potty & did his business! Every time he gets 10 tokens in his box, he gets to pick out another toy. (We found it helpful for him to pick it out previously & use it as motivation) Tonight, he got his 10th token for the second time & Derek took him straight to Toys R Us to get the gray iron man toy he wanted. These pics are of him with his box, and the first iron man toy he got. GO DAWSON!!!

He really just wanted to make faces.

This is his serious iron-man face. Iron man is sitting on the box.

And, here a two really cute ones of him! What a handsome boy!
