Tyler has been peeing and pooping on the potty for the better part of this year. But I need to qualify that statement: while fully capable of going on the potty, he hasn't been potty trained. He still fights us occasionally and chooses not to go on the potty at times. He is just so stubborn and does not want to stop playing to perform the duty. And frankly, potty training is not something I'm all that urgent about instituting (call me lazy). I have had numerous other moms tell me how Tyler is right on track with other little boys they know his age. But that is little consolation when Tyler looks like a 5-year old (he's very tall folks)!
We have tried numerous options to entice, coax and demand him to use the potty (candy each time he used the potty, aim for the cheerios as a game, put him in big boy underwear and let him pee himself if unsuccessful) and all have had mixed results. But just lately Tyler has seemed to WANT to pee and poop on the potty. We've had dry pull ups for almost a week now including three poops on the potty at daycare yesterday. Our daycare provider said that we could start sending him in undies this week. Fingers crossed that my headstrong son will keep up the effort!
