[quote=Anonymous]Never ask him if he has to go - ask him instead of he can go.  Make a game out of draining his bladder by floating a couple of cheerios in the toilet bowl and having him try to hit them with his stream.  Also, start making clean up from even a small accident take a lot of time - total change of clothes, shower, redress, put clothes in washing machine.  Not as a punishment but simply as  way that things are.  Make running to the toilet ten times easier than wetting your pants.

He is almost there but obviously not 100% toilet trained.  Try going in to his room about a half hour before he usually wakes up and see if he is dry.  My son was - he generally peeing in his pull-up as he was waking up and not ready to get out of bed because it was easier.  That was the day we lost the pull-ups and I started waking him up and taking him directly to the toilet.

In our case we had to do it much younger as DS's preschool required the kids to be 100% toilet independent at three or they weren't admitted.  So I know it is doable.  [/quote]
