Mother's of Boys

Really, I'm asking.

Do they really go this much? 

We went up town to some of the shops. Me and the kids. 

We were gone maybe 1 hour. At most.

He went 5 times and then was RUNNING into the house when we got home to go again. 

10 minutes later he went again. 

The poor kid (and his mom) are going to be exhausted if this keeps up. 

Do they really go this frequently? Will this calm down once he's all the way trained? 

Really, I'm asking. Grace, Jody, Cassie, Trina, Meghan, Courtney...I need to know!

OK, my guess is that it is a potty training thing. Perhaps not fully emptying his bladder each time he goes. I have one son who has to pee very frequently...and it's just the way he is.
BUT if it continues, I would talk to the doctor. Because it can be a sign of other things.

I remember going through that "peeing every 10 minutes" stage with both Ally and Brad. Maybe they just like doing it because it is something new and grown up. I did sometimes set a timer at home and they could only go every 45 mins or so. I also made them sit just a little longer on the toilet each time to make sure they had fully drained their bladder. Who knows!? Brad just went to the bathroom before leaving for a figure 8 race this evening and then asked if there were bathrooms there too. Maybe they simply like checking out the public facilities. Or maybe Sully was simply bored! You did take him shopping with all girls! : )

Thanks guys!
I'm thinking he's mostly just having trouble knowing when he really has to go so he's doing a lot of going 'just in case'.
We left the house at 4 tonight, went to a SS picnic and then shopping at Walmart and the mall.
He went to the bathroom probably 17 times; but mostly sat there...And he stayed dry the entire time...so I'm happy.
We are close! yeah!

has it stopped? b/c i have a little boy on meds for this very thing. he has 'irritable or immature bladder syndrome'
ugh.
we have too many medical things in common!
he was getting up 3-5 times at night to go pee, too.
