We have been potty training here, in recent months. If you've been down this road before we have, you know that for some reason pee-peeing in the potty is a much easier to learn than pooping in the potty. Indeed, Jack has been pee-peeing in the potty with regularity for a month or more now, with an accident here and there. But for the most part, peeing is a done deal. Jack wears underwear.
But we recoil in fear when it comes to weekend afternoons when the poop is due. (As he is at daycare during the week, we are off the hook those days.) He still hasn't gotten the hang of this one, and he has some stinky poo. However, one day maybe three months ago Jack and I were together and no one else was around. I caught him in the act and swiftly put him on the potty, and he pooped there. I cheered, he was pleased, and then he said he wanted to flush.
He flushed, and then with his face close to the opening of the potty said, "Bye bye poop," then looked up at me and said "he's going home to his family."
I love the reasoning. :)
I think poo poo will be easier for us since at least she KNOWS when she is pooping.
