Re: snap/button

[Guest guest]

Another REMARKABLE idea!! Kathy. HUGS,HUGS!!! I'm all for

learning to be independent. Right now at Middle school has a

prescription to wear warm-ups or shorts during spring time while he

is being toilet-trained, as the school requires school uniform to be

worned. He is doing wonderful removing it on & off. But,of course my

mind wanders off to once he reaches HS will he thoroughly be toilet-

trained? I would love for him to fit into the crowd by wearing

regular clothes. This is excellent, as I'll use this method at home

and also look into it now with the HS. Boy! am I praying that

will use the restroom independently once he reaches HS. This is one

of the main goals his teacher and I are concentrating on. Gosh!

Another of my worriness sort of solved as I need to persue it. Thanks.
