Almost 3 and hysterical about changing nappy!

[Astrongcupoftea]

It's getting ridiculous. The battles. He is a placid and pleasant child except this which causes him such distress! He becomes hysterical! He screams and loses his temper and goes nuts and throws the nappies away and says "No nappy! I go away! I put nappy away!"

He is getting very difficult about changing clothes and anything to do with his Willy which he is getting very guarded and defensive about. He only goes in the bath if he can stand up in it wearing his nappy.

He have been as kind as we can but right now he has a poo in his nappy and we're going to have to spend 20 minutes basically begging him to change it!!!!!

Maybe getting him to decorate his own potty with his favourite stickers may help :)

Update: he sat bare arsed on the toilet!

We was "washing up" at the sink arse in the wind for ages, then DH loudly announced he was going to the toilet and DS decided he didn't want to be left out of any activity of course.

So DH had a pee sitting down on the toddler insert which apparently was deeply difficult, and then told DS he could have Pom Bears if he sat up on it, and he hopped up without a thought!

So then DH told him funny stories about Lightening McQueen going to the toilet for about 5 minutes but no wees or anything and then they came out and DS said "I sat on the toilet" and we all high fived.

But who knows what it was? It could have been eliminating the power struggle of nappy/trousers, or it could have been the Pom Bears!

I would potty train him.

Yay!
