Maybe try starburst, since they aren't chocalate, my daughter likes tootsie rolls also, but I only give her a small piece at a time.

she doesn't care which one, there are all types of brands, some are better that others health wise. They are in the snack aisle like where rice krispies are. there is a kind that is good ( can't remember the name) that is filled with juice on the inside. They are a little better than some snacks I think

abby im curious do they like stick to her teeth or are they hard for her to swallow.

I don't have any problems with them sticking to her teeth or anything, I guess it's possible, but she just loves them. The ones filled with juice are called gushers. It might not be for everyone, but like i said my daughter loves them, but she has also never had any kind of chocking issues, not even when she just started eating real food.

my son also loves the fruit chews we have been using them as a treat since they came out with them in the baby section of the grocery store just for toodlers I think, now we use the welches brand they are made with real fruit juice.

Thnaks girls
I bought them yesterday they are shaped like leggo. He got a kick out of them . He just needs to get use to the feeling in his mouth i think since they are super chewy. But he likes !!

You know, Im not sure if your son is into stickers. But when I was potty training my daughter we started with the candy thing, and at first she was enjoying it, but got tired pretty fast. I found a potty chart at this baby store, and you buy reusable stickers for it, so everytime that she went, she wanted a sticker to put on her chart, and I placed it in the bathroom at her level. Then when we got up to 5 stickers, she'd get a snack of her choice, when she got 10 it was a little something from the store. Like a book, and a mini fan ( i dont know she wanted it) and she was only 28months. Good luck

Hi laura I have done lots of potty training in the past. I have taught toddlers for 13 years. What we used to do is make a sticker board and everytime they went to the potty they got to put a sticker on their board. Sometimes we would even put blue water color in the water which made it a little more fun. We also would have potty parties. If they were doing really well for a period of time we would have a special treat. Maybe something they like but don't have very often. I hope this helped. good luck!!!
