A little over a month ago we went to our friend's baby blessing and Jace ended up having a poopy bum and whoops...we forgot a diaper. Solution = Jace went the rest of the day commando and had to go potty like a big boy. Since then, Jace has wore underwear every day except nap time & bed time. Only problem is he saves his poops for when he has his diaper on, and refuses to go to sleep with his underwear on. What do I do? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (We do have a very special prize for him when he finally does go poop in the potty, it's in the bathroom for him to see every time he goes...)
For your viewing pleasure, here is a picture of Jace modeling his undies.
Which looks an awful lot like George modeling his undies!

I love the comparison to Costanza!!! Lex was like that to and then one day I said enough... I am the boss you wear undies and no more diaper! She pooped one time in the undies and that was it. We threw the undies away and were done with the whole power struggle, good luck!
I did forget to mention that she went about a day and a half before she finally pooped in the undies... she was totally constipated I guess out of fear of pooping in the undies or toilet!
uuuummmmm....I completely understand what your going through. Did you see the poop chart I made for Hazel on my blog? I made it big and bright for her and big foam stickers for her to put on it everytime she went poopy in the toilet. I also put different things she earned along the way putting the biggest thing at the end.
Now having said that she still did not start taking interest in the chart until she was good and ready herself to do it! But I kept reminding her about it and pretty soon she started taking an interest in it. Just a suggestion of what I did. Good Luck!!
Those pictures are hilarious! Aizlyn was a little more stubborn then Trae, but we would sit in the bathroom for what seemed like forever singing songs... I think it is hard for them to relax, at least that was Aizlyn's problem.. Good luck!
I told both of my kids that we were all out of diapers, and believe it or not, they went in the potty!! Simple as that...
Oh my, that's too funny. I wish I could help.
Every child can and usually will be different with everything.
Power struggles...?? It's lots of love, patience, lots of love, long suffering, lots of love...and don't sweat the small stuff - even when they take off the diaper and spread poop on the walls, the ceiling, all over the place (it can spread very well)...laugh inside and don't sweat the small stuff. Remember when ya'll were younger (or get a parent to help you remember) - love them while you have them....no one said your children would out live you. Loving also means correction, pushing - persuading, directing to right...rmembering that you wanted to be together b4 you came hear - best friends! Enjoy while we smile...we didn't get it all right either - does anyone? lol.
Landon did the exact same thing! He wore underware ALL the time except when he had to poop. Then he would ask for a diaper. My DR said not to pressure him but to let him have a diaper when he needed it. Then pick a significant mile stone (birhtday/holiday/etc) and tell him that as soon as that day came--diapers would be gone! No more diapers after that day. Each time he needed to poop I would ask if he wanted to go on the potty--he always said no--i didn't push him, even with bribes. Finally diaper day came! We threw out ALL diapers and it worked! He tried to hold if for a day or two--but eventually he HAD to go on the potty!
Tiff; After reading Pat's comments I am afraid for you. It appears Trevor might have done everything he mentioned. Surprise, surprise. Didn't you say Jace takes after his daddy? Oh well maybe Brookie can help. Just one piece of advise. Don't try the methods we used on you. They didn't work! Love ya====
I think it just takes time and each kid is on their OWN time table. I have been training Addie since March and she wears a pull up to nap and bed. But often times she will wait til naptime and her pull-up to go poop. Just lately has she started coming out of her room to poop in the potty. She is fine in the daytime and asks to go poop in the potty...but just not at nap. Alot of positive reinforcement and PATIENCE are key. And TIME....I hear so often from other parents about this same problem. It's hard to know what will work for each kid. Hang in there!
Love the comparison. LOL
Careful Julie...that's how rumors start...lol...it wasn't Trevor that did the "smear job" - Trevor was angelic - and that's why he will have some wonderfully angelic children! (Sorry Tiffany)!!
Um, I think I'm scarred for life! At least is wasn't Trev in his "G's"!!!
Laughed and laughed when I saw this post. We are big Seinfeld fans. :) Showed it to Tyson, his response, "That is AWESOME" as he shook he nodded many times in a row.
The picture of Jace and George is hilarious! Very funny. Great job on getting him potty trained. We have started on Zach, but haven't gotten far. He tries to hard to force going pee that he gets just a tiny stream or even just drips out and thinks he has gone. How is school going for Trevor? I have been thinking about you guys and how life is with him in the nursing program! I hope that all is well.
