i think so; he's been doing it with encouragement but just walked in and sat down. that's how it went for being pee trained. it's true what they say, when he's ready he'll be ready. meanwhile, ds#1 trained early. [ Reply | More

a b&b is your only option near the park. the only reputable hotel in brooklyn is the marriott downtown. though i did hear something about a holiday inn express going in somewhere. you could also look into a vacation rental or short term sublet. try parkslopeparents.com [ Reply | More
