I Love my Kid, but his Shit Stinks

Ok so the kid is potty trained. He doesn't pee his pants. He is pretty awesome about it and has done really well with the whole underwear thing. Although he does have a major tude toward the pullup.

It's great all day and the night tends to be a bit problematic. Basically when he wakes up to pee in the middle of the night, I wake up. He will absolutely not go to the bathroom without me and will not pee in a pullup. He will however poop in a pull up and remove it. This has happened twice this week and I can't say that I am a fan of it.

Today during his nap he decided that it would be cool to poop in his pullup, take it off, and wipe it on his chair. The entire time I didn't have a clue. He didn't leave his room. Nor did he call for me. In fact I found the shit about an hour after he woke up. I never went to his room when he woke up so I had absolutely no idea about the brown mess all over. Yuckster.

I just don't know what to do regarding the poop situation. How do I get him to call me when he is sleeping and has to do numba 2? The time before this was not as gross but still wrong. Instead of taking a load off in the pullup, he decided to squat on a library book. Again, yuckster.

Anyone know of any magic cure to stop the boy from shittin' where he sleeps?


PS....If you take out books from the Cleveland Library, I would advise skipping The Trucker.

Give him his own cool little potty chair for his room, with a night light so he can see if he gets up in the middle of the night. If he uses it, praise him and give him a little reward in the morning, something he'll think is cool to get and worth using the potty over. (I have 3 boys)

I'm interested in the answers since potty training is (hopefully) coming up next for us-I'd really like Ben trained at least through the day before baby # 2 arrives.
Good luck!
