Oh gods, potty-training is a whole 'nother level of craziness. My favorite method (barring daycare rules to the contrary) is to keep them in diapers until they’re sick of them, rip them off and announce “Use potty now!” So much easier on all of us. 😃

Mine love M&Ms as a reward – doesn’t mean they’re all that interested in the _potty_, just that they like M&Ms.

Yeah, one of my babysitting charges is training his mother to give him M&M’s by making trips to the potty. 😉
