Potty training is expensive!

Well we finally found what'll work to convince Matthew to use the potty: Kinder Surprise Eggs. EACH time he uses the potty (actually does something, not just sit!) he gets an egg. Now before any of you gasp and try to flame me, ask yourself which is more important: the kid using the toilet or not bribing him. He's 3 years old now and at this rate he won't be trained til he's 30. These things are not cheap (can't give you a price cuz Chris keeps throwing out the receipts) but I'm guessing it costs about $1.50 or more for each successful trip to the can! At this rate he'll have to choose toilet training or college cuz I don't think we can do both. So if anyone has any coupons for these things could you please pass them along? I tried their website (www.kindersurprise.com) but alas they don't even give you that option. On the plus side he's more interested in the toys than the chocolate so there's another reason for me to get excited everytime he uses the potty. I can finally have chocolate multiple times a day! Hmmmm...

Hey Matthew, do you have to use the potty????

Why potty-training Matthew isn't working

It appears I've been doing it wrong all along; I need to sing. I don't recall reading that tidbit in any of the how-to books!
