Okay, first, I am having some troubles with disciplining. I have three babies (10 months, 11 months and 14 months). The 11 month old BITES, and when I take his face and say NO biting, he laughs. Sometimes he hits me afterwards. He hits the other babies too. Sometimes it's just him swinging his arms or his toy, but sometimes he does it deliberately. He's a very busy little boy, so I know that putting him in a time out will not work since he doesn't quite understand what it is yet and he won't sit down for them.

The 14 month old doesn't listen when I say NO. I know he knows what it means because when he's doing something he knows he's not supposed to do, he looks at me. When I say no, he does it anyways, and he does it slowly like he's testing me. I know that that is what he is doing, but he does it over and over. Today, I tried putting him on a time out (they worked for his CONSTANT whining - completely different story) but they don't seem to be working for this. He doesn't realize he's on a time out until he goes to get up - which is about 5 minutes later cause he likes to watch everyone play - and by then, he has no idea why he's there so he just cries. (I know it's also an issue with mom and dad, which is frustrating because there is nothing I can do about that except remind them to be consistent, but there has to be something I can do here)

How do I fix both these things? I know it's all about consistency, but is there anything else I should be doing?

Also, a 2.5 year old just started and he is "potty training". His parents say he's almost there, but he NEVER tells me when he has to pee. When I ask him he says no. Yesterday, he pooped in his pull up. When I asked him if he pooped, he said no. I tried to explain to him that it's okay if he poops, I just need to know. I told him that his pull ups are like underwear, not diapers, so he shouldn't be peeing in them or pooping in them. His dad says he uses the big potty to pee, but he won't use it here. I tend to forget to ask him because I am so used to just changing diapers. I try to remember to do it when I change diapers (I tend to change the diapers at the same time - before and after nap, and before we go outside, so I'm usually pretty frazzled and I just forget to ask him). I'm going to make the bathroom more "kid friendly" but is there anything else I can do to make it more exciting for him to WANT to go? When you start potty training at a daycare, is it like starting from scratch? Suggestions anyone?
