[QUOTE="witzend, post: 89475, member: 99"] How about one of those ambient noise machines for his room? You can't keep tiptoeing around the house forever. As far as moving himself from his crib to his bed, He'll break the crib eventually because he's too big. Or he just won't fit. When that happens, you just have to tell him that crib time is over. M had his pacifier until he was well over 3. I finally bought him the last pair and told him that was it. He had an old junkie fuzzy one around the house too. He promptly threw one inside a hole in the wall. Too bad, better make the other two last because I'm not buying any more. The second one went missing a few weeks later. He was down to one. I reiterated that he really needed to be careful with the last one. It also went down the hole in the wall. There was a fuss for about a day. When he uses the diaper, are you jumping right in to change it? If he's not asking, I'd wait until he asks. If he's asking, I'd wait until the second time. M was closer to 2.5 or 3 when he started using the potty. I just plain told him that he was too old and I didn't have to change him on demand any longer. If he didn't like wet/dirty diapers, he should use the potty. Now, I know that this one in particular could have backfired pretty badly on me. He could have taken his diapers and hid them in the closet or wiped the dirty ones on the wall. But he didn't. (Thank Goodness!) I think he knew it only would have made me angry - it wouldn't have made me give in. [/QUOTE]
