yeh i tried using a big piotty bowl so that we dont have to leave the toys but since he pees STRAIGHT up still it was impossibel for me to get it in the bowl i tried all different holds/positions! I tried spreading his potty-tunities to 25 minutes today and we did just fine. he is getting it i can really tell. i have also felt the warm feeling a couple times and had luck, but he still is not a great signaler. i still have not had him poop there...he just doesnt show any signs at all, he just poops right on his first push out of no where!! he is doing good though i think. only 2 missses today and one was my fault!
