Ok, I know this is gross, and maybe not fit for a blog...But, I am getting really frustrated with Elijah. He keeps pooping his pants...and he is 5!!! He is fully potty trained but seems to get lazy...and when he does go in the toilet, he won't wipe his own butt, I have to do it. Is this normal, is there something I can do? He is currently on restriction from the playstation, I warned him before I put him on restriction...and he ended up doing it again. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Posted by Picasa

Have you talked to your pediatrician? Sometimes there is a BM problem. I thought my daughter was having "accidents" on purpose or just being lazy and it turns out she has a problem with BMs. We have to give her a medicine called Miralax every day to keep things moving regularly. Just a thought. It's not terribly uncommon. I know several moms who have gone and are going through the same thing.
