Regressing

Special needs is indeed "special." Other words that can be used for "special" are: extra, additional, further, added...

Lou is having potty issues. In addition to having days where he will not go on the potty once but rather in his pants, he'll have days (in a row) of going to the potty every time. This morning after peeing in his cloth diaper overnight (which sometimes he doesn't do), Tina didn't put a diaper on him and sent him back to bed for an hour because it wasn't quite time for him to get up. It turns out that he had to go #2 and he decided to do it in his pants. Our friend, #2, fell out of Lou's pants and onto the floor (this is one of the few times I will thank God for bare concrete floors instead of padded carpet...Mmmm...padded carpet). Carter didn't really like the smell of our new friend, #2, so he told us about him and we took care of him.

Ahh...maybe someday, we'll eventually learn to handle the stresses...

My guy is 4 (5 in October) He won't even tell us he needs to go. Now, if I remember to take him, he'lldo pretty good. I'm not so hot at remembering though. I keep wondering WHEN oh WHEN will this stage end.

I'd be wishing for concrete floors too if #2 were dropping out of the pants at my house.
