[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 89463, member: 2960"] With my daughter, we'd put her in her bed and then lie down on the floor next to it so we were in the room with her for a while. For a while, she preferred to have a "nest" on the floor in her room rather than sleep in the bed. Worked for me. She eventually decided to sleep in the bed and nap in the "nest". difficult child was a deep sleeper, so we'd just haul him off to his own bed when he'd pass out. Neither was thrilled about being sent to bed, but we never insisted they had to stay in it. [You want to sleep on the floor? Feel free.] They eventually decided beds were better. I wouldn't stress about the potty training. He's a boy. He'll do it when he's ready. You have enough to worry about. I thought mine would graduate college in Pull Ups but he finally got it together. He was about 5. Still has the occasional incident at night, which we try to take in stride even though it is really annoying since he is almost 7. Not sure I understand the game/toy issue. They play with what they want, how they want. My difficult child is quite bright but there is no way on earth he would have played Candyland at 3. 5, maybe. If your cub is making circles with trains for an hour, he's focusing just fine. He's learning something, we just don't know what. Mine wouldn't build track until he was -- again -- 5. I gave up on expecting him to play with the same things other cubs his age did and in the same way, so I don't know that I'd stress about how he's playing with the trains. Then again, at that age, mine was regularly throwing his trains up against the wall in a rage, so the idea of just running them around in a circle sounds pretty good to me.
