J.,
I am a proud mother of a now 4 yr old who has been peeing standing since he was 2 1/2 yrs old... and believe it or not, all thanks to his mommy... ME...
My mother taught him how to pee sitting and sometimes that made a mess...
So since my husband was too embarassed to teach him how, I figured who better than mommy right... until he told me...(WELL I'LL leave the HE TOLD ME STORY FOR THE END OF THIS Message)...
So one weekend when we were home alone (daddy at softball tournament) I decided to teach him how to pee standing and told him. I knealed (sp?) behind him and told him to hold on to it... he already knew that part as he'd been very curious at that point. I told him ok so now you put the top (toilet cover) up and then you hold yourself to make sure it goes inside the toilet. As he was aiming, I sort of helped him by moving his hands to aim in the right place and not all over my wall... And so, that's when he learned that boys pee that way and girls pee sitting. He understands that when he's too sleepy or his feet hurt, that it's ok to sit for boys... Practice that over the weekend and you'll see he'll catch on.
And so, back to my story, UNTIL HE TOLD ME when he was closer to 3 yrs old, mommy let me show you how you're supposed to pee. You pull down your pants and your underwears, then you pull this and hold it like this... OK mom now its YOUR TURN...
I blushed so badly and was cracking up at the same time. I decided to clarify to him that mommy had to always sit and that boys like daddy could stand or sit if they wanted to...
Since then, there hasn't been any further blushing on my behalf. Now there are those times, when he sneaks a peek of mommy changing and he says "Mommy, I saw your big booty"... hahaha
Good luck and trust me there's nothing wrong with mommy teaching the boys how to stand and pee.
Take care and good luck
