My Duke is 18 months now. He's very smart, but very stubborn. This boy does not do ANYTHING until he is GOOD AND READY.
I am partly to blame for his stubbornness, but he gets it honest on both ends. When I say my son borderlines concern with reaching milestones....its an understatement.
He didn't crawl until he was 9 months, walk until he was 17 months, and he still refuses to talk and eat table food. Again, he's 18 MONTHS! All he wants is his ba-ba (boob), and a snack.
With the exception of my oldest son, my other children were potty trained by 18 months. NO pull-ups or pampers whatsoever. My oldest was almost there until a winter stay with his father's family set him back.
So naturally, I figured baby number 4 must follow suit.....NOT!!!!!!
Knowing he was a little....patient with milestones, I cut him some slack and gave him a few extra months to get started. My first problem was and is finding underpants to fit him. When I say my son is a runt, well lets just say he's NO WHERE NEAR the 5 percentile for his height on a growth chart.
Despite this I still brought a potty, the smallest undies and rubber pants I could find.
Guess what he did with the potty....
HE SAT...for about 5 seconds...
THEN he began planning his escape...
Then he felt he could use it as a drum, stool to hit the light (that he still can't reach), and a pedi spa!
Needless to say, that potty is collecting dust, because one thing I learned about The Duke is, he's NOT doing anything until HE IS READY!
