My son recently turned 3. As far as going to the potty is concerned, he's mastered that art.
Therein lies my problem...
For the past few months, he has taken it upon himself to announce when he has to go to the potty, do his business, and get himself dressed back up. My wife or I usually accompanies him when he has to go #2 however, but for #1, he's more or less on his own.
Here recently on 2 occasions in the past week, he has taken off his pants and went to wizz on the floor. He made a puddle in the kitchen floor one day, his bedroom the next. We asked him why he did it. His reply was, "Because I wanted to."
We addressed the problem by showing him the mess he made, and explained to him that he needs to use the potty instead and made him sit in the corner for a few minutes.
He hasn't done it since and we hope he won't decide to do it again. But if he does, is this something that he is experimenting with, or is it something worse? Has anyone else had this problem??
