He might just have to replace the squash.

It's in some stores as well. I ordered mine with free site-to-store shipping to my local store as that one didn't have them on the floor. They have the best price I could find. A quick Internet search will bring up a gazillion hits with options where to buy, but I don't believe you'll beat Wal-Mart's price.<BR/><BR/>It's totally cool! You don't even have to worry about aim! <BR/><BR/>Good luck!MGMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06023305884132294675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9914269.post-33166460318453036592008-06-12T13:57:00.000-11:002008-06-12T13:57:00.000-11:00I don't think you should be ashamed at all for the...I don't think you should be ashamed at all for the M&Ms!

Husband looked at me like I was from Mars when I asked his "expert" opinion on that one. Ah well. My biggest reason to invite Pete to our home was to keep the pee from getting everywhere. It seems to be serving that purpose well.<BR/><BR/>MM, I've never heard of using a "dingle bell" ha ha! That's funny! Nothing like letting the whole house know what you're up to, and that you "scored!" I'll have to try that (myself-hee hee). <BR/><BR/>Without fault whatsoever, huh? Dang the Internet is good at masking the truth! And it's amazing how strongly you and my husband disagree on that point. *snort*MGMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06023305884132294675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9914269.post-11171685637975991592008-06-11T18:22:00.000-11:002008-06-11T18:22:00.000-11:00M&M's are GREAT!

Besides, I love me some MGM :) In my mind, you are without any fault whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>But might I suggest a "dingle bell" ... I got a bell, like the ones they used to use at hotel front desks (think Clark Griswold in Nat'l Lampoons Euro Vay-kay).<BR/><BR/>Now *that* was some motivation! My oldest would proudly ding away after a "movement". <BR/><BR/>"Diggle bell" ... still makes me giggle.

If you're using Peter Potty at home, that can be your home thing, but otherwise, sit him on the potty all the time and teach him to "push it down." As you might find, little boys can't always tell when they have to "pee" or "poop" or both, so sitting them down prevents a lot of accidents and eliminates the need for extra gadgets. After my son was fully trained, he decided when he was ready to stand "like a big boy." <BR/><BR/>They're all different, of course, and potty training boys is certainly more challenging than girls.Student of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531260329879266893noreply@blogger.com
