My son turned 2 in August, and while I've done many things to insure that his diaper stays on his body, he still manages to squeeze one hand down the back of his diaper and bring out a "surprise". I'm not sure how many naps have been spenting "painting" a picture on the wall (and the door, and the carpet, and all the dirty clothes in his hamper...). It's loads of fun to clean up! I hope Jackson sticks to the dry run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-44129199741833195182008-01-29T13:07:00.000-05:002008-01-29T13:07:00.000-05:00I can't believe how much he has grown up since I s...I can't believe how much he has grown up since I started reading your blog!

(Thankfully the older one is potty trained now & we are out of that phase.) Anyway, one day I found them, with their diapers off, and rolling theirs cars and trucks through the poo--which was also all over the carpet! We actually had to resort to duck taping the diaper closed at one point!

My little boy decided at about 18 months to start standing up in the middle his bath to watch himself pee into the water. After a few times, I realized that if he could control things enough to make this happen, he could direct it into a potty. So I went out and bought a potty chair. He prefered to stand on a stool and hold onto the back of the toilet so he could go like Daddy, though. Training him was a breeze. I hear that boys typically do well before age two or after they turn 3. During age 2 is more difficult. I don't really know if this is true or not, but thought it might be worth sharing. Jackson seems to be showing lots of signs of "readiness". :-)Mel @ Studio MCA Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288216864369313988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-11709627351313023572008-01-26T21:03:00.000-05:002008-01-26T21:03:00.000-05:00He's gonna be two in no time.
