OK so our little guy Braden has been potty training for the last month or two. Back in may, Josh took him to the father and sons camp out and thought that it would be a great time to teach him to pee out in the great outdoors....like real men. So of course, being the great and supportive wife that I am, I had no problem with a little male bonding. Well here are a few questions for those fabulous ladies out there that have raised little guys before:
1. Is it normal for them to drop their pants at a CROWDED park and pee off the end of the slide.....daily?
2. Is it normal for them to insist on running out in the front yard in only their unmentionables?
3. How do you get them potty trained for during the night? Pull ups are only made in so many sizes you know!
4. How do you convince them that its really not cool to poop in your big boy underwear?
5. and last, how do you convince them that if you don't wear any underwear you will have a horrible rash and want to die?
Yesterday, I was sitting in the living room with the kids enjoying a wonderful episode of curious george and Braden stood up and started pulling down his pants much like he would at the park to pee openly. So, I asked, "Braden, what cha doin?". He of course didn't say anything. He was simply taking off his underwear for some weird reason, then put his shorts back on. I thought that was a bit odd. He continued through the day without underwear on...he refused.....now I don't know if this may be just some rebellion or some kind of cool club in nursery...who knows. I finally told him that mommy thinks its a great idea to wear underwear and when is a big boy and dresses himself he can go commando if he wishes, but until then, we are part of the underwear lovers club. Is this normal? Is there more wacky things to come? HELP!!!!!!

yes normal to pee wherever they want outside.. its so convenient for them!!! as far as overnight, it depends on the kid.. Landon had pull ups till he was 7..(sorry!) but carter and Craig were 3.. so good luck!!
I love that you are posting more... your kiddos are adorable. All I can say is Potty training SUCKS and is the WORST part of parenting. Good luck
That is all very hilarious!!
I think it is quite normal for a little boy to enjoy the freedom of NO underwear! And the ability to pee anywhere he pleases without the problem of it running down his leg, like it would if little sister tried to pee just anywhere.
Kids are so funny!
And BTW, Raegan still wears a pull-up at night and she's been potty trained for a year and a halfish. All kids are different with night time peeing, I think we'll be dealing with Raegan wetting at night for a while.
