Potty Training Issues.....
I need some help before I lose. my. mind.
Nolan is pretty well using the toilet. He is in pull-ups at night, but I am not messing with that at this time. My frustration comes from him taking off his pants and underwear and then not being able to get them back on. He gets them off, and then proceedes to run around nudie until I have a spare second to get him dressed.
At home this is no biggie, but he will do it at others homes, ect. I know he can put his undies back on because he did it when my sister cared for them last night. What gives? Any advice? We would like him to go to a YMCA pre-school this winter, but he will not be popular for whipping it out all the time.

Lucy is the same way. We finally had it out the other day. I'm not dressing her anymore. No privileges until she gets her clothes back on. I will coach her through it, show her where to put her hands etc but I'm not doing it anymore. She screamed for a while but eventually got it done and she's been doing it herself for a couple days now.
GL!

Ava's been PT'd for 10+ months now, and still plays the "I can't put them back on myself" thing. and She hates clothes on sometimes.
We stop the festivities, and I once again show her how to lay them out correctly on the floor, and slip her legs in. I'm lucky in that her (HA) underwearz can really go both ways, but we just show her and show her and show her... she's little. It's a lot to think about - 2 legs... where the tag goes, but it's not really a tag, it's writing on the fabric...
If I were two I'd be confused too ;-)
(and I bet they have someone help them in school, Ava never goes alone. They'll be right there to help him assemble the garbs.
Honestly, I don't think you can *expect* him to do that at his age (at least not all the time).
Connor is 3 and he doesn't even do it on a daily basis.
And, at his age, a pre-school should not expect him to do it all himself. Connor's teachers help him all the time. He can usually pull them up, but they have to "fix" it so nothing is hanging out and/or tucked in
I think the best thing to do is to just continue to encourage him. If he isn't doing it......don't yell at him because that is just giving him attention.
He will do it eventually!
