Declan is 20 months old today. One of the very crucial issues, which I have been looking at, is to get him potty trained. During the past 2-3 weeks, he has been taking off his pants and diapers on his own accord. There was once he pooped and he took his own liberty to remove his diaper without telling us that he had "ng ng". Luckily, Angelia (bro in law's gf) caught him in action and held on to the diaper for him. If not for her, we'll have a big mess to clear.
I wonder if the pulling down pants and ripping off diaper action is a sign of readiness for potty training or a sign of him turning into a pervert flasher.
There are times when he'll refuse to let us put on his diaper and pants and he'll run around the house butt naked with us chasing after him.
We tried introducing the potty to him many months back but it was not successful. The moment he sees us approaching him with the potty, he'll start shaking his head and say :" mai mai!" then run away.
Due to his "flashing" acts, we have reintroduced the potty to him again. This time he is more receptive. He don't mind sitting on the potty, he seems to be even enjoying sitting on it judging from his grins. However so far we have only managed to get him to pee 2 drops of urine into the potty.
Yesterday night, he told his "kong kong" he wants to "she she". "kong kong" announced that to us, so Kiat and me excitedly stripped his pants and diapers and rushed him to the potty. He insisted on sitting on it, we were more than happy to let him do so. That only last a few seconds before he got bored, stood up and told us "mai mai"..... Aiyah.... anti-climax.....
Side track abit : YL I didn't burn down the studio, his photos turn out fine I quite like it but both Kiat and myself looks shitty in the photo. But never mind, the main idea is to capture the little on not us. No time to scan the pics, will post it up once I scanned them.

Hi Ivy, I think your little boy is getting ready jus need us (the adults) to be persistence and let him get used to potty. He is doing quite well, at least he felt uncomfortable after he pooed. My girl is 17 mths now and just yesterday, i let her go diaperless, and told her that if she needs wee wee, she has to let me know and then I show her to her potty. So far so good, yesterday got 2 clean-ups(pee) and 2day she pointed to the toilet when she wants to pee and poo. For poo, she is doing alright bcos i started quite early for her. All the best to you and your little boy's new adventure :-)
Yup, me too think Dec show signs that he's ready to go diaper-less. Good lah, can look forward to save on diapers liao..haha..
Do keep us posted of his progress and all the best! :)
Zara is also the same.. when I take the potty out.. she'll shake her head..
I'm not sure when she'll be happy to sit in a potty.
