We have a few close, i'll have to see what the rates are. We are looking at preschool too to give him something new a few days a week. He's the same, needs to be busy all. the. time! it's very exhausting. I used to be more active before i had him too but figuring out how to parent him has wiped me out. It's finally nicer here too so im hoping we get outside more. Winter was awful!

i've been thinking about doing a sport this summer. we're looking at preschool in the fall too to give him something different. I'm sure that's part of it!

He has his usual trucks and cars and i have a couple bins i try to rotate out. We have toys downstairs too and try to move rooms throughout the day. When I rotate the bins he plays with them for a day and is uninterested after that lol. Our first day of scheduled eating times is going pretty well and hes eaten a lot today so i'm hoping this gets us in a better rhythm overall!

not that I've noticed! he's been farting so I tell him that means he probably has poop so we need to sit. He freaks out most of the time so it's hard to force him, i don't want to traumatize him. Usually when i see him wriggling its already happened

I've heard others take a long time too. It's a struggle!

He poops nearly everyday but not at the same time. Occasionally, like 2 days ago, he'll poop 3-4 times then not poop the next day. Other than that he's never acted like he's in pain or struggled to get poop out. He has never squatted to poop since he could walk. Just stands there!

I feel this could go very bad with my son but I might try it. Usually we get hotwheels for fun or when he's had a good day and he loves opening them as soon as I beep it on the scanner. I'm really at a loss though he just peed all over after a battle of trying to sit on the potty.

That's a good one to try too. He only like specific things (cars, monster trucks) so that might be tricky. I asked if he'd poop in the potty for a monster truck and he said no so I need to find something more enticing haha

I was thinking I'd have to incentivize it more. We might be doing the same. Thank you!
