thank you so much.

yes, jennie. i let the training be his idea. he's had a rough life already. he's extremely intelligent but potty traning simply could not be pushed, and i didn't.

he asked me flat out why his pee was making a mess outside his diaper and i told him his pee's getting too big for diapers now. literally the next day, he was trained...literally. not one accident. he also stays dry all night.

i refused to push the #2 as well. i couldn't as i said. he's decided this "whatever" in his own mind. i think he thinks he'll just keep it in and avoid the entire issue. i'm serious. he doesn't like messes and is very sensitive. he's demanded for a long time that i not look when cleaning him up.

i'm just going to have to be here...reassuring the entire way. when i sense that he's holding himself and getting anxious again, we'll put the special "dr trainers" just for him on and then i'll pray...hehe.

i think only time, and a few more poops, is going to rearrange his thinking so that it will be ok somehow.

thanks again,

kd
