Potty Talk

So let me start by saying that I am not ready to potty train my 15m old. My plan is still to wait until 2y before making a push for the big potty. I am happy to report though that in the meantime Caleb is starting to show pre-potty interest. So, the point of this post is to give you a good laugh and perhaps brag a little about my kiddo and his ability to poop.

The following conversation started happening about two weeks ago:

Caleb: I poo.
Me: Caleb poo poo?
Caleb: I poo.
Me: Sniffing
Me: Yup, Caleb poo poo. Time for a clean diaper. Diaper! Diaper!
Caleb: Runs to his room and stops in front of the changing table
Me: Good job! Caleb poo poo! New diaper, new diaper!

We were so totally proud that a.) the kid realized that he'd pooped and b.) that he's willing to follow directions and go into his room willingly to be changed.

Then a few days ago the conversation changed a little...

Caleb: I poo
Me: Okay then, let's go get a new diaper.
Caleb: Runs to his room and stops in front of the changing table
Me: Dude, there's no poo poo in here. I thought you pooped.
Caleb: I poo
Me: Sighs. Snaps him back up and puts him on the floor.
Caleb: Grunts, turns red and squats.
Me: Oh! You were going to poop!
Caleb: I poo. All done.
Me: Juan! He just freaking told me he's done! Isn't that cool!

Aren't you impressed!?!?!?!

Note: This does not apply at ALL to peeing. He could care less when he pees or if he's wet. That's ok though. I'll take poop for now. :)

One week til we move. We're hanging in there...

That's awesome! Reese has started running from me when he has a dirty diaper.
