self-taught 'potty' ..

At 15 months, Caleb has been doing his poo poo at a regular place and nope, it's not the toilet. Whenever he wants to do his big business (or what we call, poo poo), he would go under the table and squat. Its really funny because there will be times when we call him and he doesnt come to us. We would be finding him all over the house and lo and behold, he's right under the table concentrating on his poo.

There will also be times when I would be eating my meals on the dining table and suddenly I hear poo poo noises coming out from him as he tries to poo. Then I realise, he is actually below the table. He does it so subtly that no one knows he is under until we try to look for him or he makes "umm umm" noises.

So here's Caleb caught in action..



One rule which we realised is that he cannot be disturbed. Once we noticed him doing it and force him to go to the toilet and sit on his potty, he wouldnt want to poo anymore. He is just comfortable poo-ing under the table (with no disturbance from any of us). Until he is done, he would come out on his own and then we would know to change him.



I find his behaviour really amusing as no one taught him such a thing and it just seems so natural for him.Am looking forward to the day he can pee and poo in the correct manner and place.
