Wet socks

So today, my four year old walks blithely out onto the soaking wet-post-rain sidewalk in his socks, since his shoes are on the porch, and only stops at the harsh sound of my call, "STOP", since the wetness of his feet wouldn't do a thing to inform his brain that it isn't a good idea to go much farther and watch out for that fat worm, thank you very much.

I get so aggravated!!!! And I have to remind myself that this isn't just stupid behavior, that's the hard part. To him, wet really isn't, well, wet the way we feel it. The same goes for his soaking wet, full, four year old pull-up bottom, which is also driving me bananas. Potty training tips leave me in a place between tears and hysterical laughter, since this kid appears to be the only child in the universe who will probably be potty trained at the age of forty.

Am I alone in the universe?

Will NOT use the potty
by: Anonymous

My 3yr old grandson who is mildly SPD will not pee in potty and he insists on peeing outside. He asks for a pull-up to poop,despite everything we have tried to get him to use the potty its ok for now that he goes pee outside its still warm enough but im anxious to see what happens in the winter.

He stopped wetting the bed @ 18mos an just recently started having accidents @ nite, any ideas or suggestions from anyone ?

Not Alone
by: Angela

Potty training - the bane of moms everywhere b/c someone always has them fully trained at 24 months. My twin SPD son is still wearing pull ups at night despite and only 'got' the day potty thing about 6 months ago. His twins non-SPD sister has been dry through the night for the past 4 months, so there is a difference. And a wet pull up is easier than wet stinky icky clothes! Keep consistent non-pressured tries and remember that he will be out of pull ups before college! Good luck

lol, nice post..you are not alone. Four year olds are notorious for going in the rain. I am pretty sure this is really normal:) I have a very bright daughter, who is slightly sensory sensitive who didn't get the potty thing down until she was four. He will get it..consistency is key. You are going to be okay.
