What we have been doing is making him go before we leave the house, and as soon as we get where we are going, I find out where the bathrooms are. If we are just running in & out of a store, I ask him, but don't push the issue. If we are in the store for more than 1/2 an hour, I make him at least try to go while we are there. If he can't that is fine, but I make sure he has had the opportunity. He is doing extremely well while we are out. His only accidents have been at home.

It is hard because I also have a 20 month old. Sometimes I keep an empty water bottle in the diaper bag. Then if you can't make it out of the car, or you only have enough time to make it to a dressing room, ect...you'll avoid an accident. My sister thinks its gross...but so are wet pants and underwear. I'd rather them go in my van, than touch anything in a public bathroom. And the boys think its fun to pee in the bottle.

I only did that for a month maybe and now he is great.
