I created a "prize" chart for Gage to mark his progress with his potty training. I started it in August to help motivate him a bit, and it has worked a little. He doesn't like going on his own quite yet, and I usually have him try right when he wakes up (if I get to him in time), right before a bath, and right before bed. He has a little treat to motivate him to stay sitting there, and he likes for me to leave the room. He does know when he has to go because he won't get off and doesn't want his pull-up put on until he does...when he does want his pull-up on, he knows he doesn't have to go.
We are still working on having him recognize when he has to go during the day, but he doesn't want to interrupt his play time, so we'll keep working on it so it stays positive! He has told me a few times he needs to go, and does like to go to some bathrooms when we are out and about--just to flush and wash his hands, but you have to start somewhere!
Here is his chart, in which he has gone 50 times in two and a half months!! YEA, GAGE!! The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer and brighter!!

This is a good idea. I am going to have to pick your brain as soon as Dawson starts showing interest.
