4 years olds and wiping ones bottom...

[Tinks]

We were told at Kinder orientation that the kids must be able to wipe their own bottoms so I made sure they could before kinder started.

We were told our DS had to be TT before going to kinder. So I've assumed that means everything. The only problem we have is with flushing and him actually holding onto his bits while standing for a pee. He prefers to let it hang over the edge of the loo.

lol, luckily we don't have this problem as DS pees sitting down, like his dad. He CAN pee standing if he needs to (outside etc...).

Apparently I am either harsh or lazy - my DS has been wiping his own bottom since the first time he used the potty at 2.5. It was entirely his idea, he did his business and then shuffled over with his pants around his ankles to get a wipe and did it himself. His undies are clean so he does a fair job of it. I do help every once in a while if he is having trouble but mostly he is self sufficient in the whole toilet department.
