My son is now 3 years old, and he is quite the character. We have been trying to potty training since he turned 2, but he gets his stubbornness from me. For the last month or so, the only accidents he has is when he is sleeping, or when he needs to poop. He will not poop in his potty. Usually in the mornings he has already pooped before he starts making enough noise to the house up. Ive caught him before actually pooping and put him on the toilet, and he won't go. He will cry and whine, until he has to start getting ready for daycare. I bribe, I cheer, I read, sing songs, beg and plead, but he will not do it. Then he goes to daycare and I remind him to poop on "Kathys potty". He holds it all day, until he can come home, and poop in his pull up. Peeing isn't a problem, although sometimes he gets too busy playing and ends up forgetting. When he does go to the potty, he always asks for help to take off his pants and pullu up and to help him get on the potty. I know he does these things on his own at daycare, but not at home. I also know he can put his shoes on and off on his own, but when he is around me, he wants me to do it. I try to tell him to do it, but he has a fit and as were running out of time to get somewhere, I just end up doing it. I miss the fact that he isn't a baby, and I want him to know that he can come to me for anything, but when he won't do the things that I know he can do, it is very frustrating. I have put him in just underwear, and he doesn't care. He poops in them. For right now I am just taking it a day at a time, and trying not to lose my sanity.
