Potty training saga with Cooper

Cooper is so ready, but boy is he stubborn. The more I suggest it, the more he has accidents. He totally has to own this. He can go a day, even two without an accident. But then he starts getting annoyed with me for reminding him and he doesn't care if he sits in it.

Jack took 7 months to train, but looking back, he wasn't ready until he decided in his head he was tired of diaper changes. Riley trained himself at almost 2 years to the day.

My new strategy is bribery to the older boys. They are usually there laughing when he pees/poos his pants. So I just annoyed that they could get a $50 toy (I'm thinking Mario Galaxy 2 that Rich has in his hot hands waiting for a moment of necessity) if they can keep him dry and train him. They were so flippin' excited. Since Cooper looks up to his brothers, and this could keep them serious on the adventure...I'm hoping this works.

If this does work? Watch for the potty training book for boys to come soon! LOL
