Ds2 is now 28 mths and basically dry - but ONLY if he is taken to the loo. If he is not taken he just wets himself - oh and poos don't even come into it, long way to go there!
But tell me, what do I do now? It's been about 6 weeks now that he's been like this. I take him before and after meals and before and after going in the car, basically, and he does a huge wee each time. He goes to nursery a day a week, and there seems to be a communication problem there because every time I say "you need to take him, he won't ask" and every time I get there and bring a week's worth of dirty laundry home, because he simply pees himself.
How do we move forward? He is child 3 and we are in and out of the house/car all the time.

I don't think that it is a problem at this age is it? Congratulate him for doing so well and I am sure that with age it will improve......

Do you think it will? Do you think it is just a question of time - I just keep dong what I'm doing and he'll progress eventually?

DD is almost 3yo and still has to be taken to the loo to be reliably dry (hasn't worn nappies in day time in almost a year, now). She hates getting even a single drop of water on her fingers, but will soak her knickers... gave herself a UTI she kept fighting the urge to go -- and will argue with you if you insist she needs to go. Silly girl. I have even resorted to giving her sweets to get her to cooperate on going to the loo for a wee..!

Thanks everyone, this is great. I do think he's doing well, particularly as I didn't feel he was in any way ready to start when we did. I just suddenly thought "it's now or never" at the end of the holidays because we are just on the move all the time during term and I really didn't want to wait until Xmas because of playgroup and stuff - and the fact there will be so much going on then anyway it probably wouldn't have happened.
Your'e right about nursery though. They are great there but this is really bugging me. I say it every time I go in (fatuous as it seems) and they seem so "duh" about it. "he never said anything".
Anyway I'm quite happy to go on as it is, as long as I'm not actually stopping him from learning to feel the need by always pre-empting it.
