But...Oh no, I didn't know he couldn't hear! But you're right, I don't think that would get in the way of potty training. That poor guy will have an uphill battle as it is, without being toilet-trained.<br /><br />Anyways, what is it with people stopping by your place on their way to Minnesota from Chicago? Sheesh, these out-of-staters! Hee hee.S.M.

Hope these kids get some help.<br /><br />You've done a great job with your girls!Gardeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233358355888022857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-303724742330524162010-07-26T22:23:26.115-04:002010-07-26T22:23:26.115-04:00That's a shame about that little guy. My girl...That's a shame about that little guy. My girls took forever to potty train - atleast it seemed that way to me. I didn't force them to do it, but I realized with the oldest one that those disposable pullups are a waste of time. I put her in her cotton undies and the potty training just sort of happened after that. There were some messes, but that is a part of it. They were 3 when it was all said and done - night time, pooping everything. I think every kid is different, and I also think that pushing them before they are ready is a mistake. <br /><br />If your mom is watching him, perhaps she could help in that department? I know when I was watching other kids, the younger kids seemed to want to emulate the older kids and I encouraged that. Maybe she could, too.<br /><br />I think it's great that the girls order for themselves at a restaurant. Mine do, too.Grizzly Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140654835381345450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-80549071789056903212010-07-22T22:57:50.983-04:002010-07-22T22:57:50.983-04:00Jeannie I have to correct myself on something said...Jeannie I have to correct myself on something said in the post.. The girls father told me not to offer her anything. He told me to make her ask for it that day while they were here. He was trying to make her open up to others a bit..<br /><br />VV this child is like 3 year old in a 5 year old body.. Its hard to explain. His real father wasnt watchign him one day while he was suppose to be and at 9 months old he got ahold of some very strong meds.. I dont know if that helped with the process of his slow developement or not but its not right. I know boys can be harder but they have started with him and just threw him back in adiaper for some reason..tweetey30https://www.blogger.com/profile/04780963604845788306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-11296264376806359912010-07-22T16:52:21.389-04:002010-07-22T16:52:21.389-04:00I can't comment on the potty training for this...I can't comment on the potty training for this particular child, not knowing whether there is some mental or developmental issue preventing this. I know my son took a long time to potty train, even though his sister trained very quickly. Could just be a gender difference, or a biological difference. As for kids in general, I think we do a disservice to our children when we coddle them and do everything for them. How will that help them function in the real world? Just my two cents worth.VVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751403913379728345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-48649269175382290832010-07-22T11:50:03.491-04:002010-07-22T11:50:03.491-04:00I agree that the 5 year old should be out of diape...I agree that the 5 year old should be out of diapers unless there is some other physical issue at work. Potty training does require certain physical maturity. My daughter is smart as a whip (she taught herself to read early) but it took forever for her to be potty trained. And years at night. We had to get her up every night - and she doesn't remember any of it - or she would pee the bed until she was about 10. She just conked out so deeply and her sphincter or bladder or whatever, would just let go. <br /><br />I don't know that a kid who is a guest should necessarily ask for stuff on their own. They may be shy or perhaps even told NOT to ask. If you are the host, you should be offering refreshments to your guests anyway so they shouldn't have to ask.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.com
