Still pee sitting down?

Cameron does, and he has no desire to stand. Its pretty good, he rarely makes a mess when going potty and thats fine with me. LOL but I just find it funny that he would rather pee sitting down than standing like daddy. Though Daddy DID teach him its okay to pull your pants down by a tree and pee outside, GRRrrrrrr

Heck yes!!! All my boys do if they know what is good for them. We yell at them if we catch them standing! They don't have good aim.

Shhh...my three boys still sit down - and they are 12, 9 and 9.

LOL my next question was gonna be: Should he be standing and at what age should they be doing this??

ROFL, Good to know!

Ironically enough, we recently taught my 2 1/2 year old to pee standing up because he was making a mess doing it sitting down!

I wish - his aim is getting worse and worse.

We taught ds to stand at around 2 1/2 because he was making a mess while sitting. Since he's started standing up the bathroom has gotten much neater.

Dh has taught ds the tree trick too!

My Trace looks so funny. We taught him to go sitting facing the back of the toilet and when he does #2 he still goes this way but now that hes 3 and a half he stands to go just like daddy and grandpa

Wow I am really surprised how boys sit! We taught ours to stand. The 3 yr old I sit for started out sitting but whenever he had to pee I had to drop everything to help him on or if he had to go during nap he would scream for help and wake up everyone. I got on all their little cases about the aim and thankfully they are pretty good about it 99% of the time!

My son age 2 1/2, pees standing. He learned to pee sitting, but it became a problem in public places...some places didn't have the toilet covers. He also seemed afraid to sit so high up, without a stepstool at his feet. Now he does great standing, no mess for us.
