Hi Jennifer,

Trevor just turned 5, he also has dry diapers at night but otherwise
is showing no interest other than telling me I should go to the potty
or telling me the dogs need to go out to potty we have read all the
potty books I can find and he loves them, he has lots of different big
boy undies to wear and I have tried that and talked to him about when
he is wet. All this with no success at all. The more I talk aobut
it the worse it gets until he doesn't even want me to change him. I
have tried the reverse and not pushed at all but we aren't getting
anywhere with this. HELP PLEASE !!
Karen and Trevor
