okay I need help. Any ideas from anyone would be great. My sweet little Landon is just barely 2 years old. He is definitely ready to potty train. All the cues are there. He can tell him if he has gone. He wants to wear roos (that's what we call underwear). He doesn't have a problem sitting on his potty. I have tried everything; candy, read him books so he will sit there longer, I run water, and I have set the timer so he tries every ten minutes. Every time he says he has to go and then he gets stage fright.
Now normally I would figure for a boy he really isn't that old but the story gets better.
Even though he sits on the potty every ten minutes and nothing happens. He waits for one of two things. A meal time so he can pee at the table or two he will wait until I put a diaper back on him for nap time. Then when he is there by himself he will completely strip down and pee or poo all over. It is ridiculous. Really I need help. If he could get over his stage fright I wouldn't have to worry so much at nap time anymore.
This is definitely a first for me. It is true when they say each kid is different. Brenten never did anything like this.
HELP!!!! Any advise. If you think I am joking you are welcome to be the next to get Landon up from his nap tomorrow.

I unfortunatley, have no help for you either!! One of my sons literally trained himself, the other one just waited until he was good and ready. Ivan has no interest at all and he turned 3 in Febuary!! It drives me crazy. So just think, at least you are ahead of us!
Try beating the ever living hell out of him the next time. My dad used to tie me up in the basement and tell me that if I wanted to pooh my pants, I could live like they do in Russia. He would make me stand in line outside of a bakery at 4 in the morning and ask for a loaf of yesterdays bread. After a few months of this, I learned my lesson. Sometimes even now, I have an unusual craving for day old bread whenever I sit on the toilet.
Hey Becky - sorry its taken me so long to respond. I'm still trying to adjust to this new motherhood thing, and my computer time I still havent' quite figured out. Its random.And I'm still trying to catch up on friends blogs from the past 10 days. LOL. Anyway I am going to come back and catch up on your blog another time, but for now just wanted to leave a comment. I'll add your blog to our list too so I can check it often. Talk to you soon in cyberblogging. ;)
Have you tried duct taping his diaper before naps? Then just cut it off when he gets up. Obviously not a long term fix, but it might save you from a few loads of laundry and a new paint job!:)
I don't know if this is of any use - but my nephew only took potty training seriously when the little girl next door truned up and announced that she "always weed in the big pot now". As she's a month younger than him and he was still walking arouind in nappies (dipers) this made him decide that anything she could do he could do - er - worse! (So if there are any little girls nearby....)
