Nothing is working. We bought him the coolest Diego and Cars briefs. We have tried Cheerios, Fruit Loops, Tinkle Targets, PullUps, and bribery with new movies. Nothing. He'll hold it all day at school, get home and go onto the tile floor and squat.pixiegirl said:

Saturday we were all at my parents for a cookout. We had been in the house and it was way past nap time when something ticked him off. He stormed upstairs to his room and shut the door (would have slammed it but being a couple weeks off 3 he just doesn't have the strength). Opposed to going to him and scolding or punishing him for throwing his little tantrum (and that was VERY mild) I just went outside. Everyone else followed. After a couple minutes I guess he got the idea that no one was coming up to get him and he ventured downstairs only to find that everyone was in the back yard. He comes out the back door shaking his finger at me and yells "Don't you ever come out here without me again!" and then hauls off and whops big pig one (just because he was close I suppose). I got up out of my chair, lifted his leg of his shorts and lit that little leg up. He didn't even bat an eye. He stormed off the deck and went and played on the swingset by himself until it was time for dessert. That kid is something else.
Joshua was not easy. I wouldn't have classified him as a bad toddler, but he is very much his own person, and was (and still is, to a lesser extent) very stubborn and opinionated. He is still very straightforward, and will tell it like it is.pixiegirl said:The oldest was such an easy baby/toddler/preschooler. That babe is hell on little feet.
Luckily he's developed the sense that there's a time and a place for everything, and his evil side rarely comes out. I'm complimented at least once a week on the fact that he behaves himself in public, as if that's something people should be praising (I don't walk around like a neanderthal at Lowe's, why would that be acceptable for a small person? )
