Thank you so much y'all. we have everything in place as suggested here.
Myself, I was thinking as you told...take focus off of it...he's walking funny to try to hold it in...pitiful. I won't mention it again. When he thinks he's going to go he said, "you'll change me mom?" Of course I respond positively, but yesterday there was ALOT of focus on it by my mom, his mamaw. I haven't done that, so we might be starting at ground zero again.
I'll keep feeding him, with plenty of fluids. If nature doesn't "push" its way in a couple more days, I will go to the pharmacy to see what help is available for that age. Also, I might call his dr. We'll see. However, he's so miserable now, I think it will happen soon.
Ok, so I'm going to ignore it unless he needs me to reassure in the moment.
I'd thought of that actually and am going to follow through.
He's so sensitive. He's having a struggle between diaper and potty and neither feels right.
