Potty Training is NO FUN!

We started potty training when Aydan was about 22 months old. Didn't push it, and he would potty sometimes when we put him on. He wasn't quite ready, so we let it go the summer he turned 2. Have started back up on it shortly after school started, but I think never pushed hard enough... he def able to do it, but still has had no motivation to tell us when he needs to go.
So.. in last few weeks (now that sooo close to another one in diapers) I have been pushing it. Tried some pull-ups, tried bugging him every 30 minutes asking him if he needs to go...
Now, in last 3 days.. I'm trying something new along with getting off my (very tired) bottom and putting him on it all the time and trying to catch the right times... trying the chart, sticker incentives. We have a chart on the wall, and everytime he potties he gets a sticker on the wall. After 10 stickers he gets a prize. Been doing it for 2 days and he has 7 stickers so he's close to 1st prize. I'll report back in a couple weeks and let you know how its going.

Also.. Grandma bought him some underwear (Handy Manny and Thomas). I have pulled out one tonight and showed him it.. he REALLY wanted to wear them.. but told him he had to be a big boy and start keeping dry during the day to wear them (he's already good at staying dry at night)...  so hopefully this will help too.
