At two and a half, Thom is stubbornly refusing to use the toilet or speak more than one intelligible word at a time. He's just doing it to **** off me and mommy.
My kid's just over 3 and was about the same way at 2.5ish. Then one day, it was like a flick of a switch and he was potty trained. And he did it all on his own schedule, We would just remind him that using the toilet was the cool thing to do and that he should try to be a big boy.
As for talking, all I can say is all kids are different. Dont try to compare yours to others at this age. Some kids learn things in different orders from others. For example my kid knew his ABCs, the sounds they made, and numbers before his slightly older cousin, who could talk and talk and talk and talk nonstop.
