All those toddler manuals gloss over the "interest in bodily function phase" but don't hint at exactly how intense it can get! I’m with you Belinda!

I thought I was a bad parent. Big baby brother, aged 21 months, follows like he never does if I am headed to the loo. I thought this was inappropriate and downright rude. At the mere sight of me headed to the loo, he chases after me with gusto, shouting loudly, “poo”, “poo”, “poo”. It does not stop there. There is no privacy, as you say. He insists upon standing between my legs so he can get a better view. He also likes to see “before” and “after”. I have to show him a clean bowl and then a not so clean bowl. To add insult to injury, he actually does a very convincing grunt in support. He can grunt with the best of them to no result. He sat on the potty yesterday and grunted appropriately but … nothing. He can reach flush and little baby sister, aged 5 months, can’t stand yet, so there is no competition. The trouble is that he tries to flush all his toys too. This has lead to many stand offs as I cannot in all good consciousness return attempted flushed items without adequate sterilization (considering they go in with it!). Every time I head to change little baby sister's nappy, big baby brother accompanies, shouting “poo”, “poo”, “ poo”. I was wondering if he would notice she has different equipment. Not yet as he is so focused on what is in the nappy rather than anatomy. Too funny. Here I am thinking I am a bad parent but in actual fact, I am potty training by leading by example. A bit too close for comfort. I almost cried with joy when I read your blog on tickets to poo.

We're in the middle of potty training my son, and I've been learning that little boys do start certain body part jokes very early on. My son isn't even all that verbal and he's figured out out to make the occasional joke. Cute!
