Jen,
My name is V.. I am also a 34 year old mom. My son is now 7. I thought the target trick worked great. Take a square of toilet paper, draw a target and lay it in the toilet. Tell him to hit the bullseye. My son thought that was fun he kept trying even if he didn't have to go. Cheerios work well too. Just a couple and tell him to try to sink them. Good luck!!
