We all stumble. We don't always have someone to talk to about it, so there's this thread. What went wrong and can you ever forgive yourself? Probably not, if you're like me. No judgment.

It's just weird. He's always seemed advanced for his age so it messes with our idea of what he can handle.

By way of update, he's over it and last night we watched Monster House and he loved that. The confusion continues.

Now, if you've got any magic advice about dealing with bathroom procrastination and lying about needing to go, I'm all ears.

Sorry buddy - that's a bullet we thankfully dodged (just barely for our second one).

But if you need to know how to clean poop off a toddler's bedroom wall and to stop them doing it, I have a five point action plan and a powerpoint presentation.
