Hi, My son is 18 months now and he know when he goes poo. He tells me either when he is about to do it or when he had already done it. it is so cute he comes up to me and tells me holding his diaper. On this note, i take him to the bathroom with me to shhow him what is going on there and he helps flush the toilet and says bye bye to "thing '  :)

My daughter will be in Gr. 1 in September, so as soon as she is off I am bring the potty out. I just do not want to introduce him to it while she is around cause I know they will be goofing around and it will be harder for me to have him focused on the potty training. A couple of minthes back I tried to put him on the big toilet like how i trained my daughter, but he did noit want to do anything with it. I found the little prtable poptty annoying, I hated washing or rising it all the time, And the toilet seat for the toilet was always covered in oee so I just had my daughter hold on to the toliet seat, and she was trained on the big potty.

So wish me good luck cause potty traing time is coming up very soon.

Also my daugher was a July baby so Summer was a great time to potty train her...OMG what will I do in the winter or how will I do it!? Any suggestions? Do i need like 10 snowsuits..lol...

I didn't aware what I'm practicing is called Elimination Communication.  We have been putting our daughter on potty since she could sit with support, i.e. 5 month.  We do not purposely toilet train her, but to eliminate the effort of washing pooppy cloth diapers.  We routinely put her on potty when she wakes up, as soon as she finishes a meal, and when she is about to sleep.  So far she rarely poo on the diapers, and there are about 50% chance that her diapers are dry when we take them off (which can be reused right after).
