And this is totally OT, but it is kinda funny that VS, with all its in-your-face advertising, gets beaten out by a regular ol' joe kind of a bra.
And not to be really super gross, but anyone got any tips to make a 2-yr-old boy go #2 in the potty?! We've got the first one down pretty good, but he can't seem to get the hang of the other one! And its not that he's constipated - he's quite regular, almost like clockwork - every day after lunch he has to go. 'Cept for when he's sitting on the pot.
Don't get me wrong, I bought one cuz I love the wii, I'm just sayin....they're expensive.
anyhow, he has made all of his other goals for this year so we aren't too disappointed. people say all kids will eventually potty train. and yes i'm sure there are people who think i'm a horrible mom because my kid's 5 and still not completely potty trained, but you know what? he's got a whole mess of other things on his plate that i'm more concerned about.
this year for the first time starting kindergarten he was put into an all-day special ed class with 5 other children whose needs are similar to his. there are 3 teachers, so all the kids get a lot of one-on-one time. i can't even begin to say the tremendous difference this has made in his speech, comprehensive abilities, letters and numbers, naming objects, and ability to use utensils (pencil, crayons, scissors, etc.).
in his last IP meeting we started to discuss new goals for next year, and overall he has done so well this year that it is expected he should be able to integrate into a 'normal' educational setting before he is 10.
i was devasted when i first learned my son could possibly be 'slow' his entire life. his father is 'slow' but his parents never sought help or services for him so he is very limited on just normal everyday things we take for granted like thought-processing, and basic reading and math skills. he is not able to have any kind of career that requires actual 'skills' and will probably live with his parents his entire life. (i am not with my son's father anymore, haven't been since my boy was 3 months old, but he is a good dad and we still do get along fairly well.)
to me that was wonderful news to hear that with intervention, my son should grow up to be a functional member of society. we are not quite there yet, but every step towards that goal makes me so happy.
with all that being said, it sounds like your son has a great start on his potty training - it is outstanding he can pee on his own. its been said children often feel weird with their butts over the hole trying to poo.. i don't know how else to explain it, but i'm sure it probably does feel weird to them because they aren't used to it. i'm sure you're son will do just fine.
and as for the VS bras, mine always fall apart after washing only 2 or 3 times. i gave up on them a long time ago.
Every kid is different and his time will come. Just keep working with him but don't pressure him and Don't stress yourself out over it.

I agree, some children feel weird and scared "with their butts over the hole".
Nope, another one here. Three stores and no peelies. Will venture out to Atlanta and see if there's any.

Aw, your son sounds like a special little kid. My hubby and I have talked a lot about what we would do if we had "special needs" kid, 'specially after his radiation, and I know they would just melt our hearts like butter. My hubby is such a softy anyway - there's a little Spanish girl in my son's nursery that has some sort of disability. She has to wear glasses and even with them, she squints at everything. Anyway, she's the sweetest little girl, and will just walk up to one of the kids in the nursery, stand right in front of them, and grin this big ol' grin. Makes you smile just to see her smile.

Ah, the joys of mothering!

at first i was rather skeptical about ordering bras online, but then i figured.. i do actually need new bras badly, and i'd pay $10 at a store anyway so i might at well try the WonderBra when it's only $10. (never had wonderbra before)
i just tried one on and i've NEVER had a bra fit me so well. and.. i'm perky again for the first time in 5 years!
i'm hoping it'll last better than my VS's did. it seems better made, and it doesn't have those weird pad things that bunch up inside when you wash them. so here's hoping for the best.
i got this one in white (didn't have black in my size):
Here's what I did:
Every Monday I'd put him in underpants and see what happened. Every monday he'd have an accident and I'd let it go until the next Monday. I don't know why I chose that way/day but I didn't want to push it or make him never do it.
Finally he got it. All was good, but the same thing with #2. He would get a diaper and beg and cry to have us put it on and then he'd do it and all was good. (for him) This went on for months and months. We tried bribing, toys, outings, m&m's, etc.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, I broke and I am NOT proud of this, but I got so frustrated that I wouldn't let him off of his little potty. Because he'd sit and sit and then scream and cry for his diaper/pull up. It was fun.
So, you can send that Mother of the year award my way.
So, not that I'd ever recommend my way, but I guess just letting you know every kid is so differant. Some do it on their own without any asking and some are 4 or 5 beforethey do. My daughter, who just turned 2, will come up to me with a diaper and wipes and say, "mama, poop." and she'll go. It's so bizarre. LOVE it.
And this is totally OT, but it is kinda funny that VS, with all its in-your-face advertising, gets beaten out by a regular ol' joe kind of a bra.

The way we trained my son was took him with us to the store to pick out a couple packs of his favorite underwear (i think it was thomas or Elmo) anyway we had him help us throw away all of the diapers and told him he gets to wear his big boy undies now. He was very excited but of course hesitant. We also explained to him that if he went no. 2 in the undies we would have to throw them in the trash. He absolutely hated the idea of throwing his favorite undies in the trash. It only took about a week to train him doing it this way. When he no longer had accidents we rewarded him by letting him pick out more undies. It seemed to be pretty efficient but messy

I bought a C9 (Champion) one on clearance at Target. Best bra ever. I prefer it to my VS ones. Comfy, can't really tell it is there.
