Our other boys all sat to go until recently but David makes more of mess doing that it seems. Any way hopefully he doesn't see this comment when he is a teenager - I am sure he would be mortified!<BR/><BR/>Good luck. Try a reward for no messes for a day or something. Or have him lean forward over the edge of the toilet while standing on his tiptoes and holding with one had onto the back of the toilet so he doesn't fall in :) All in all.... try to say sain and pray for patience and patience and patience :)<BR/><BR/>thanks for sharing about your life with all of us... you have such of way of making the frustrating and mundane, humorous.

They have a special device that cleans the underside and upperside of the toilet seat at the same time as the toilet is flushed and the bowl is brushed. Of course I didn't notice any brushes or mops jumping down to clean the floor. They were pretty nifty public toilets in any case. You had to pay cash to use them not a nifty idea.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393525220611580379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15841782.post-53874746706356267812007-10-22T15:15:00.000-05:002007-10-22T15:15:00.000-05:00I remember the times he aimed at the garbage can.....I remember the times he aimed at the garbage can.... standing on the other side of the toilet. I think I discovered that (and the pee on the toilet rim and the floor not to mention the garbage can) the day you had Alex. :)Brittneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01833830414195768294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15841782.post-26492051878590140612007-10-22T14:28:00.000-05:002007-10-22T14:28:00.000-05:00My sister gave you one of the things we used (in t...My sister gave you one of the things we used (in the last century). A little stool made just the right height by a carpenter works nicely. Suggestion 2--use 2 or 3 Cheerios as things to aim at. Just do not reward success with any that fall on the floor. :-) PatPat VEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503099315290455556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15841782.post-36761770192212955132007-10-22T13:43:00.000-05:002007-10-22T13:43:00.000-05:00i'm fifteen and happen to babysit an adorable litt...i'm fifteen and happen to babysit an adorable little boy that is four. potty training has improved,aiming wise, but we had to use the cherio method. you know, aim for the cherio and hopefully hit it?? Anyway it was a fun game e thought and i was pleased not to have to clean up the walls. but if he just isn't tall enough to reach, i suggest a stepping stool or just make him stand up and go in the girl's potty seat. and if the seat doesn't work you might get a stepping stool since alex will most likely have the same problem in three years!!! good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15841782.post-50921110445836546272007-10-22T11:30:00.000-05:002007-10-22T11:30:00.000-05:00A friend of mine told me she taught all her boys (...A friend of mine told me she taught all her boys (including her husband) to always sit on the toilet. They had carpet in their bathroom and this solved the problem. They are all grown and still sit instead of stand for sanitary reasons. Unless of course they are in a public restroom.
