To Pee (in a Toilet) or not to Pee (in a Toilet)


Collin has recently taken a very strong interest in the concept of peeing in a toilet. He often watches as we go and now points to his diaper each time (we believe) that he pees. A few times, we've even taken him to the potty at his request(!), only to discover that he'd just peed in his diaper! It's actually quite funny because we hoist him up onto the toilet, and then he leans forward with his head turned down so that he can watch ... and then he waits. Unfortunately for him (and us) he has yet to see the pee come out into the potty ~ but he is so anxious to see it! Our pediatrician (and many toddler materials) suggest starting to potty train boys at 2.5 years old; Collin's only 18 months. It'll be interesting to see if it's all just a game and he'll tire with it or if we're on the potty training trail!
