I'm not kidding

Sam walked up to me yesterday morning and said "I wanna poop poop." He says it often enough. I said "ok go poop poop and then I'll change your diaper." He waddled off then came back in the room with a full diaper. What!?! I actually have put him on the potty before when he has said that but he just acted scared and tried to get down. 20 months?

My advice....train him now. Henry was 22 months when he was fully trained. I know people say it can't be done, especially with boys, but Henry is proof that it can. Henry was doing some of the same things. He knew when he needed to go and he would say he had to go. My other bit of advice....once you start don't go back. I know it's hard and cleaning up pee and poop is tough, but it's so worth it having an early trained kid. Just tell him he's too big for diapers and don't give up (well....I still give him diapers for naps and nighttime). Good luck!

By the way, with Henry, it took about a week to have him mostly trained...he only had an accident about once per day. Then the second week he was down to about two-three accidents per week. By week three, no accidents and it stayed like that for almost a month. Also, people say that it's the mother that's trained, but that's not true either. When he are at home, Henry goes potty without me ever reminding him. He does forget sometimes when we are out in public, so I have to take him to the potty, but a lot of the time he'll tell me he has to go potty (the main time he doesn't tell me is when we are out playing with other kids, then he holds it until he just can't hold it anymore).

If you train him now your mom will be so happy! I've consistently let her down in that department...

I love the clothes! Yellow's sort of my new fav thing right now. So cute.

Um are you sure he wasn't saying "pop pop" and then when you didn't make him popcorn, he filled his diaper to punish you?

Ila insists on sitting on the potty since Nicole has been using it. She will actually cry and scream if I don't take her diaper off and put her on. She sits up there and says "come on pee" then wipes and lets me take her off--she has not put anything besides toilet paper in there yet. Too bad we're not still in Knoxville with our babies and pregnancies in just about the same stages.

Did I really raise you? A daughter of mine won't put her son on the potty when he says he needs to go?!?! That Sam is a chip off his Uncle Lance's block!
