I think I might be in the minority. My son was completely potty trained during the day except for pooping. He might have done it once on a whim when he was barely 2 or so, but for the most part he was dead set against it. He would ask me for a diaper then go up to his room and poop, then come down and ask to be changed. It was causing a number of problems. I tried every kind of bribe. I bought little dollar store toys and he could choose one if he pooped, but that didn't work. Finally, 2 months before he turned 4 I said enough is enough. I refused to give him the diaper. I sold his cloth diapers, made new "big boy night underwear" (trainers) so he didn't need a diaper at night anymore, and I told him he was going to have to put his poop in the toilet from then on (he rarely ever pooped in his underwear and only on accident in the midst of a power struggle, and the saw the night trainers in the same way). He carried on the first time but he finally pooped in the toilet. He was so proud of himself he had to call everyone he knew. He did it without a problem from then on. I am not one who usually pushes a kid into doing something before they are ready, but he truly seemed ready, he just needed a push to get him over the fear. It was a nightmare I do not wish to ever repeat. Hopefully the baby will be easier to potty train! Heck, even if he's around 3 when he trains that will be fine with me! Its a heck of a lot better than 3 years and 10 months! Oh, and the funny thing is that now my older son is a firm believer in pooping on the toilet and tells me on a dialy basis that we need to teach the baby to go poop on the potty. The baby is only 14 months and not quite ready, which is what I tell him!
