potty training
So, we have been potty training Ben for nearly 2 weeks now. We seem to have the pee under control. Other than the occasional accident, all is well there. The poop, however, is another story. We have had two successful experiences wherein said poop was successfully deposited into the potty. Since then Ben has pooed in his underwear every day. I am sick of poop. I don't want to see it, smell, touch it, or have to clean loads of it out of my sons underwear anymore! With that said, I have no good ideas as to how to get him to poop in the potty. Other than being lucky enough to catch him in the act of running to another room as he tries to "poop in private" and redirecting him to the potty I have no clue what to do. Fellow mommies & daddies - any tips?

We used bribery: Penelope got 2 M&Ms for going pee and 5 for going poop. So she was used to getting 2 for peeing and could see the connection, but poop earned her more loot.
Other than that... trial and error. Just gotta keep doing it over and over. Poop seems to take longer for everybody. I was afraid we'd never get poop under control, but one day, all of a sudden, the kid had a light bulb go off, and viola.
