My youngest, a girl, basically potty trained herself at less than two years. I thought it would be fine but she would ask for a diaper to poop. This went on two years. It got so bad that I had to leave work a few times with a phone call from daycare that my daughter was moaning with intense abdomimal pains. I carried her to the car and she asked for a diaper. She was too embarassed to ask at daycare.

One day some old family friends stopped by with their 7 year old and 1 year old. The four year old watched as the diaper was changed. The mother nochalantly said that you have to change diapers for babies. You don't need to for big girls like my daughter. My 4 year old went and gathered all her diapers and gave them to the mother who had no idea what she had just said or what had happened. My four year old never used a diaper again.
