Playing with his privates.

I have been casually trying to get my 2.5 year old DS to potty train for the last couple of months with little to no interest from him. Just recently I have decided to get more serious about it because we just found out we are expecting baby #3 in April so I want him to be potty trained sooner rather than later. However, every single time I get him on the toilet his hand immediately goes to his penis.  And it's not to just push it down like I showed him, He grabs it and plays with it and will not go to the bathroom.  I don't know how to get him to touch it without playing with it constantly! I didn't have any of these problems when I potty trained DS #1, so I am completely at a loss for what to do.

    It's a very normal thing, he's just curious about something that is usually covered by a diaper/clothes, who can blame them really.

    You could always say that it's fine to explore his 'personal area', but that is something you do by yourself in your room.

    I have problems with this with my LO but we aren't training quite yet. He has to wear bottoms constantly or he pulls at his diaper and pushes it down to scratch at his butt! His dad and I don't really understand it because he doesn't have a rash or anything, we just think he really likes his tooshy ha ha!!

    He also goes immediately to his weiner when we change his diaper. If he went #2 we have to both help change him, so that someone can hold his hands. Otherwise he goes for his butt or penis and obviously that is a sure disaster with poo.

    My son is very curious about the potty and when people are in the bathroom, he loves bathing, and he knows when he pooping. That is a sure thing, but I don't think he has any idea when he's peeing cuz he always pees everywhere if he is ever left without a diaper on for a moment.
