Baby Steps to Potty-Training February 5, 2008

Over the past week or so I have been noticing some things that shows Stephens awareness of being wet or “stinky”.  Two days in a row when I start to smell something foul I will ask Stephen are you stinky? He says stinky and grabs his butt.  Then last night before I even smelled anything, he came up to me and was trying to pull down his pants and grabbing his diaper while yelling at me.  I asked if he was stinky, he shook his head yes.  Finally, it used to be a battle to change diapers.  As soon as he saw you with a diaper he would bolt in the opposite direction; now he will grab it from me and lay down.  He also likes to take a wipe and take care of his pee pee.  I know we are still a long way off from full blown potty-training, but it is nice to see some steps in the right direction. Maybe I should get a potty chair so he gets used to it.
