    I don't think it's ever too late to start. Most kids seem to go through phases where you catch lots of wees (and even some poos), and then as they get older, it all seems to go out the window. I don't know why this happens, but it happened to us, and from what I hear, it seems to be a pretty common occurence... So I say stay with it. This phase is just temporary. He will go back on the potty soon, so I would recommend that you persist, but don't stress out too much. Ultimately a week or two of "failed" days, is nothing in the long run...

    It's been going on for a couple of months... I've tried not offering it for a while/ offering it and just leaving it when he's not interested/ pushing it a little. Had him in cloth for the last 2 days lots of nappy free time and he's still refusing. he'll sit there get up and go pee on the carpet. He *knows* when he's going, he can stop if he wants to and does if I tell him to. but still wont sit on the darn potty ... maybe this would be better off in TT discussion...
