Amen!! Kids do things on their own schedules... can we please repeat this to every person in the world who thinks they know when your child SHOULD (or should not) be doing something? ok...just had to vent... now back to your son becoming potty trained on his own. Wow!! I'm thinking this is kind of how I feel about teeth. I'm not sure that I'm ready for my daughter to have them yet... or solid food. Not to be gross, but I'm going to talk about poop. Poop that comes from her being a breastfed baby is not so bad. It actually has kind of a sweet smell. Now I've heard this is not the case once babies are eating solid foods. However, my daughter is showing all the signs she's ready... reaching for food, able to show when she has had enough, etc... so even though I'd like to just wait, I think it is time to move on to the next step. These kids grow up so dang quick!

 

That's interesting. As one of the the out of town guests who interrupted OS's potty training, I feel a bit guilty. I'll be interested in hearing about his progress. I know you are not ready for this, but consider Steph: she refused to be potty trained to the point where her mother would sob as she emptied Steph's doody filled cloth diapers into the toilet and flushed while Steph cheerfully watched. You definitely do not want that!!!
