: I am not talking from experience here as Karlee is only 5 mos.

old. But, I have a friend that has a little boy and he didn't like the potty

either. His dad lured him in to the potty everytime he went. Kind of a big

boy thing and he put Cheerios in the toilet for targets. Yes, Cheerios! I

guess if your not careful you could have another problem on your hands with

the Cheerios and all, but good luck. I have also heard that if you have

potty time for a while at morning and night all the other potty times will

fall somewhere in the middle. If I hear of any other good ideas I'll let you

know. My nephew always loved to pee pee outside. Do you live in the

country? Just a thought!

Glad to hear I am not the only one with a stripper. Mahrya took it a step

farther and pooped and then got the diaper off...what a joy that was

cleaning poop off the crib and hoisting her to the tub at least once a day.

The only thing we could think to do was check on her more often, put the

diaper back on while she slept, and keep her as busy as possible. Luckily

she hasn't done it in a while now. Hope he grows out of it soon for you.

No, not out in the country... so he is not allowed to run around naked.

His sister still does on ocassion. She can't open the door and has been

known to just pull her pants down and squat in the front yard. Then she

comes find me in the garden to help her put her pants back on. So I am not

really suprised at his tendancy to go naked. I just have to stop the

wetting the bed and walls and carpet. His bedroom is begining to smell

like a boys public restroom. YUK!

You poor thing. I know this must be difficult for you now, but keep

records, I can see a book coming from all of this later. I wish I had an

answer for you. I guess I am writing because I am still, sorry to say,

laughing at the " word pictures " I get from all this. Matt was so bad at

restaurants that we didn't go until he 3 1/2 years old! He refused to sit

and eat, he wanted to visit all the other tables and if we didn't let him,

he would throw a tantrum. He was bad about not wearing his clothes as well

until one day he stuck the head of a Lego character up his butt (sorry but

that is exactly what he did, and it scared him to death). We didn't know

what was wrong, he came running into the bathroom where and I were

talking and screaming like he was dying. He would sit on the toilet, point

to his abdomen and say something about " the captain. " After about 20

minutes of this I put him in the van to take him to the Emergency Room

where I work. I put in a video and he got quiet. Sooo, I did the

playground test, which he failed. He played for 15 minutes without a

problem. We didn't find out till he went to the bathroom later and out

came the " captain's head " what had actually happened. Anyway, to make a

long story short, he wears his pants now, but this is not something I would

recommend to take care of your problem. Thanks for sharing it with us. I

hope you DO get some useful help.

has done that one too. Right after church last sunday when we

went out to eat with family in the middle of a resturant!. He walked away

where I could not see him.... went to look for him and there he was butt

naked with his pants around his ankles! The other patrons really got a

show. And I had one mess to clean up. Pulled his pants up as well as I

could and walked him out to the car and stripped him in the parking lot to

clean him up. Such fun! If we keep a constant eye on him we can usually

catch him before anything happens. Then put a clean diaper on him and he

will be ok for about 30 minutes or so. At daycare today they went through

7 diapers in 8 hours!

, mom of and ... in bed most probably stripped.

And I thought I had it bad! Thanks for making me laugh....Lets just hope

that my little man doesn't ever try something like that. lol

And as for the resturant thing, I know what you mean. was good about

just playing under the table, and we would pass her food every once and a

while... sorta like you would a puppy. Talk about get some looks from

others. To this day she can't sit still to eat or anything else. Just

last month her and I went for a special mother/daughter lunch and she paced

around the table as she ate. The couple next to me gave me the worst

looks! Like I was not able to control my daughter. She is not disruptive

or anything, just paces. She is one of those wonderful sensory kids.

Nico, on the other hand will run as fast and as far away as he can get if

we give him any freedom.... so we deal with him tantruming and throwing

things because he wants out of the high chair.

My son (not ds)...would come in when he was 2-3 years old and he would be

soaked, the bed would be soaked, etccc....then I started putting his sleepers

on backwards..with the zipper in the back...he could not get to it...worked

like a charm!!

Great Idea! We usually just put him to bed in t-shirt and shorts...

daughter in t-shirt. I really don't even know if I own a pair of pajama's.

lol. Guess I need to go invest in some.

Thanks.
