Potty training depression? sleepiness?
We're potty training DS1 (33 months) and he seems to be getting it. He did awesome Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning. Since Sunday afternoon he's been acting weird on and off.
Came home from daycare today and laid down on the floor. Wouldn't eat dinner, even though it was something he loves. He just sat there looking like he was about to cry the whole meal. He told me the pee pee made him sad and that it slipped out when he was outside (DCP said he did great using the potty, just had an accident when they were playing outside).
I gently questioned him a little bit and I don't think any kids or anyone made him feel bad, but maybe he was ashamed?
As we were talking he started almost slurring his words and his eyes were sort of rolling back in his head and he basically passed out in my lap a good hour+ before bedtime. I think the slurred speech and eye thing was a symptom of falling asleep, but I'm really freaked out.
Did anyone's kid seem to be exhausted while potty training? Should I be worried this is something more?
We brought him up and changed into pjs and he's asleep in my lap again. He never sleeps on me.
Should I call the dr? I'm usually a really laid back, let's just keep an eye on it kind of parent, but I'm freaked out here.

Re: Potty training depression? sleepiness?
It's probably nothing, but he's breaking my heart and worrying me.
I feel like we should have waited with the potty training. This is so heartbreaking. I don't know if being older would have made it easier.
