Potty training thoughts & ideas

So for a few months now Ive been wanting to potty train Logan. He has been very interested in the potty, he watches Justin use the potty & even enjoys his big boy undies. But he doesnt want to sit on the potty.  He has a melt down, screams and throws a tantrum. Ive been trying all sorts of ways to get him to use it.

Some ways I have tried:
-run around naked (end in pee all over the carpets, couch and linens)
-wear big boy undies (went through a 7 pack in one day)
-use the potty after Justin
-sit on the potty before tubby time
-aim for Cheerios, fruit loops
-tell him the Backyardigans, Batman & his big cousins use the potty
-read him stories
-sit him in front of the tv with his potty
-ask him every 30 minuets
-sit him on the potty & tell him he gets to flush it when he is done
-bribe him with sweets & toys

Those are a bunch of ways. I think my next attempt are those ever so expensive (well not to expensive) training pants that get cold when they pee. I really want Logan potty trained with in the next 6 months. Truly before Conner arrives would be wonderful! Night time accidents are fine, just day time diaper changing I want to disappear.

Im going to go buy these rice targets & this book "Potty". Also Im going to start reading his potty book to him before bed. Maybe something will click if I read it to him at night.

I also need to be a strong enforcer on this. I need to stick to it and not jump around on him. Or even skip days. Lets see how well I do also!
