Ah, potty training. Ha ha. Ha.

I just this afternoon tricked Minifob into pooping in the toilet against his will. Had to make him play at the computer buck naked (standing on a towel for insurance) and just wait until he started turtling, then pick him up and run him into the bathroom. The first time he pinched it off in defiance, but when I did it again ten minutes later he gave in and let the rest out. He was completely unimpressed by my extensive positive reinforcement, and so far we haven't been able to come up with a viable negative reinforcement--having accidents, being messy, or having to clean himself up don't bother him in the slightest.

But hey! After his 4th birthday at least I get to start deducting the diapers as part of a medical condition, eh?
