What I did was used a reward system and had my daughter toilet trained in one day. First she wanted to go to dance class so bad, so I told her that the only way she could go was if she started using the potty cause they didn't let little girls who wore diapers go to dance class. Then that whole day I put big girl undies on her and granted we had messes #1 and #2 all day but instead of changing her right then and there I let her stay in the dirty undies for about minute just so she could see how nasty it was and then that night, she wet the bed and peed all over me and her but she woke up hollering she was so cold and waht not, so of course I immediately changed her and after that day and night, I haven't had a problem with her wetting the bed or wetting herself. Find a big reward, not one that the child can get anytime of the year and use that as your starting point tell him if you want this, then you have to be a big boy cause say it's a toy he wants, tell him that they won't let you purchase it if he is still in diapers cause this is a big boy toy not a toy for babies also, do not put pull ups on him at night, I know it seesm like the easier thing to do but this is giving him permission to pee on himself and this is not what you want, you want him to use the potty in the toilet not on himself, yes he will wet the bed for a few nights but make him realize how dirty it feels to wake up with peepee on you, also make sure after a certain time that he no longer has anything to eat or drink and that he uses the potty before he goes to bed. Most times I could tell when mine would have to go in the middle of the night cuase she would move around alot so I would wake her and sure enough as soon as I woudl put her on the potty she would pee so much it was like niagra falls:)lol I hope this helps somewhat and that you find somthing that will work for you. But remember most children won't use the potty till they are ready so if he isn't don't pressure him, he will do it in his time when he's ready:) Just make sure to be there for him but let him pace himself, don't push him too hard.:)

Girls are definately easier to toilet train then girls. I have used the "You are such a big boy like Daddy" approach and you got undies like poppy. My two year old is doing really well now and I just started putting undies on him and letting him walk around outside and shoot the ants when he started to hold himself. He gets embarrassed in front of visitors and asks to go to the toilet. It took a couple of days to get going and he is yet to poo in the toilet but once he is in his undies and realises how uncomfortable it was when their wet he decided that it was easy to go to toilet. Ohh and it helps if you got a male to show them what its all about. Try and make it a bit fun
