That is awesome and congratuations on poop training and sounds like your daughter had a lovely time right till she fell asleep. Overall win-win and you sharing the brag, another win. Thank you for sharing and great job!!!

The "auto discount" is how price matches show up on Target receipts.

Thank you! I have been training him for (literally) months and finally as a last ditch effort I just took away all his underwear and all the fun bribery treats and made him walk about naked under a nightshirt. Three days went by with no poop. His father and I were making him sit for ten minutes at a time every hour these past three days and nothing. (he has no issues peeing on the toilet and will go by himself but his aversion to pooping was seemingly impossible to figure out.) Finally after dinner he ran upstairs to him room to play. five minutes later he's yelling COME HERE!! COME SEE!! lol we run upstairs and he's standing in the upstairs washroom pointing at the toilet proudly :) He did it all by himself! We were so elated we broke out one of his xmas presents (Mike the Knight sword and shield) and he was the happiest three and a half year old I've ever seen :)

Hurray! I'm trusting him with underwear today (no pants though) hopefully he doesn't take advantage of the security. lol It seemed the last thing I could do, either he poops on the floor or goes to the toilet :) and it worked! Such a proud mom, and his father was over the moon!

I know potty training is tricky with many children, but we have had a long bout of developmental issues with our son and he is a little slower than many children in many areas. Through leaps and bounds and speech therapy and everything, his development mentally has surpassed even my expectations at this point, but he starts school next september and this potty training has been the bane of my existence. lol! my daughter took like three days when she was nearly half the age he is now. like night and day those two.

long winded thank you I know. My daughter totally had fun, I even gave her my 7-11 free taco bite coupon and she redeemed it herself before we went in to target. :) I got a free pumpkin spice latte! so awesome!!

Ah, good to know. :)

Congrats to your son! :clap2: I also had trouble training one of my sons. He also had developmental delays and refused to poop in the toilet. He finally said he was afraid the toilet would eat him. Finally, with a lot of reassurance and praise, he started pooping in the toilet and was trained rather quickly after that.

congrats to your son -my boy when he was little took awhile too -awesome deals at target -everytime I go there thou am overcharged-have to take my bill back on Monday when I am in that area

liked the congrats, not the overcharging. I was glad I checked the receipt before i left because she scanned one of my candles twice so overcharged by over $3. but the cashier was so sweet and the csm so nice so i didnt mind having to do the return for more chatting time lol :) turns out one of their managers was an old manager of mine and we were all gossipy :)

Great deals and even better for the potty success.
