When is Jeremy going to be potty trained?

Many of you know that we have been trying to get Jeremy potty trained for over 6 months.  We have tried everything we can think including bribery with candy and even toys.  We also tried making him clean himself up, after which I had to really clean him and then clean the tub.  For the longest time when we change his poopy diaper, we have been saying, 
"Jeremy!  When are you going to go poo poo in the toilet?"

each time he joyfully replied, 
"Tomorrow!"

Today while Lane was changing his diaper, like always, he asked,
"When are you going to go poo poo in the toilet?!!"

Jeremy:  "When you're sixty-five!"

Lane and I couldn't help laughing hysterically.  Where does he get this stuff?!  I certainly hope he doesn't wait until he's 38 to use the toilet regularly.

Sarah, I laughed hysterically too, and then shared it with my coworkers.

He is so funny!! Have you tried putting cherrio's in the toilet and letting him pee on them like targets? It worked wonders for my friend. I think after that pooping in the toilet was just as fun.

That's the problem. He'll pee in the toilet. He refuses to go poo.

Oh Sarah, so the clean up thing isn't working?? He'll get it, I know he will!

Oh Sarah, I so feel your pain. Aubrey has no interest either. I tried the bath tub thing as well, but she didn't seem bothered about cleaning it up. She actually prefers it that way. Oh the insanity of it all.

38. Could make for a very embarrassing 25 years ahead. Someday. Someday it WILL happen. Not fun for you in the meantime though.
