I need your advice.

So here’s the thing. Preston was potty-trained in three days last June. He was #1ing and #2ing like a champ. He had an accident here and there, usually at the church, but otherwise he was good to go. And then he hurt his toe.

Last October Preston didn’t walk for five whole days. He had an infection in his toe and refused to put any weight on his foot. During this time of not moving at all, he completely regressed in his potty skills. After a couple weeks and many, many changes of clothes, he was all good with #1 again. But he’s rarely made it to the potty with #2.

He doesn’t even seem to care. I’ve reminded him 857 times to tell me when he has to go, and yet I keep having to throw out Superman underpants. Nothing we’ve tried has worked to get him back to going on the potty.

If you’ve had this issue with one of your kids, I’d love to hear how you solved it. Give me your tips, please. I’ll be forever grateful.
