Remember the video I posted awhile back of Joshua yelling, "Momma! Poopy!"?
Well, I still haven't bought a potty chair or really done much AT ALL to facilitate potty training, except talk about it when I change his pants or if he happens to be in the bathroom when I'm tending to business in there myself.
A few minutes ago, I was on the computer and he came walking up with a diaper in his hands. He grabbed my hand from the keyboard and put the diaper in it and just stood there. (He often sticks things in my hands if he wants them, like a book if he wants me to read to him or a ball if he wants to play.)
He only had to stand there a couple of seconds before I realized he was SERIOUS about needing a clean diaper.
I changed him and praised him a great deal for "telling" me he needed changing. I am definitely gong to go get a potty. I've just been procrastinating about it.
It's funny, but I've been working soooo hard on teaching him colors and he just doesn't seem to get the concept, despite trying and trying and trying. Then, he demonstrates understanding of pottying without any effort on my part. Kids are full of surprises, aren't they?
Oh, I discovered he had pulled ALL of the diapers out of the cupboard in order to bring ONE to me, but I didn't mind too much.
