In four months he will be four years old. You want to school people on their experiences without any knowledge of their personal situations and their children's unique temperments? Bring it. After 5 separate attempts to potty train my child I threw my hands in the air and decided to wait until he decided to let me know he was ready. And he did. Just this week. He woke up one morning and said he wanted to wear underpants. And he hasn't had one accident yet. He was ready. He took the lead. And he's feeling mighty proud of himself right now. You go, Moosh.

Sorry I missed this. I would have totally pulled a cyber beat down out of my little pocket here. Alyssa refused to potty. She was three. We had to get her in daycare. I tried. I tried. I tried. (And she never hurt her girly bits). I quit and she went on her own. At 3 1/2. And now that she's seven, I can say with full assurance that she's perfectly developing and there are absolutely NO side effects from her being able to SPEAK but not piss in a toilet at three. And....(Wait for it joan...get your experts on the line)...She wore DIAPERS not Pull-ups. <em>Butrfly Garden's last blog post..<a href='http://butrflygarden.blogspot.com/2008/02/staci.html' rel="nofollow">Staci</a></em> Casey.

I did something similar when I was 3. Some serious damage happened. I understand I was back in diapers for awhile.

I will not comment on your er, commenter's disrespectful comments. Life's too short for such. But I will share the time I was six and I slipped while riding on the back of a tricycle with my brother and caught the bar in my sensitive girly parts at a rather quick speed. I bruised and swelled and refused to go potty for three days (resulting in a bigger problem:UI tract infection) but there was no amount of coercing or threats that was gonna make me go near a toilet. Until I felt like I might explode. And my parents did buy me small adult diapers just in case. I still remember the pain.

Just wanted to add that my kids (the three of the four that are currently potty trained) NONE of them were trained before three. There is no conclusive evidence on either side of the argument that timing of toilet habits has a causal or correlative relationship in the future development of the child. But uptight, mean moms? HUGE impact on the kid.

I did that on a fire hydrant once - used it to stand up on to look over a fence and downnnn I went. Worst experience of my 8th grade year. My son is four and in pullups. We finally made some progress and I was feeling real good about it -- then got a note from his preschool teacher. He hadn't 'released' on the potty in days. Wanted to have a chat and see what we could do. Ugh. Just recently he's started to pull off all his clothes and pullups (padded underwear on the weekends) and streak. I hear this is a sign of progress. Pee and poop on the floor. Yup, I'm feeling the progress. ;) <em>Genevieve's last blog post..<a href='http://momologue.blogspot.com/2008/02/good-dog-life-and-times-of-rieker.html' rel="nofollow">Good Dog: The Life and Times of Rieker</a></em> Ohhhhh the girly bits.
