"Baby? What baby? There's no baby!" And then run and do dishes or something. Well, that's what I do. But I guess you don't see me writing any parenting books, either, hahahaha! Thanks for coming by today - I love meeting new bloggers!

It's actually very chic now! =) Or maybe, just maybe you'll start a whole new trend. Just try to convince yourself that you intentionally went for the “eclectic” look!

]]> Comment on Will he be packing pull-ups in his briefcase? (Sensory Processing and Potty Training) by goodmum http://mommachellemd.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/will-he-be-packing-pull-ups-in-his-briefcase-sensory-processing-and-potty-training/#comment-75 goodmum Sat, 18 Oct 2008 02:25:22 +0000 http://mommachellemd.wordpress.com/?p=65#comment-75 I have no first-hand advice, as my son is a sensory-defensive SPD dude. He basically woke up one day and said he wasn't wearing diapers any more. Poof. Done. So I'm not an expert. I do, however, have a lot of friends who've struggled in similar ways to you. What worked wonderfully for one of them was to give up for a couple of months. Shut it down. No more potty training. Just offer a really cool bribe for when he's ready and when he's gone, say, 3 days without accidents. Then tell him it's up to him to decide when he's ready to receive the bribe. My friend's son was a total control freak, so this really worked for him. Sorry you're struggling with this. If it's not one thing, it really is another, isn't it? Good luck!
