I pretty much have the worst potty-training track record ever, unlike some people. The potty training process with Joshua, and then Sophie, were two of my lowest parenting points.
So, with Jonah, I’m getting proactive. I’m gonna have this kid in big-boy pants by the time he’s two!
Ok, not really. But somehow I’ve discovered that I CAN get him to poop on demand! Well, not really demand. But he’s sort of trained to poop when I lay him on his changing table. Like Pavlov’s dog salivated when he heard the bell, Jonah moves his bowels when I lay him down on the changing table. It. is. AWESOME. And rather impressive, I must say!
I kid you not, if it’s diaper changing time, and he has not already pooped, I just lay him down there and within about 2 minutes he will produce a very loud, ginormous key-rap. I first realized it after a couple times where I changed him TOO quickly and he immediately (and loudly) soiled the brand-new diaper. And once when he pooped bare-buns on the changing table. EEEWWW.
Since he is SO very consistent with this, I have learned to take off his pants and pull his onesie way up to his shoulders because sometimes he will still shoot ’em straight up the back even when he’s laying there! I learned this lesson the hard way – several times.
So there ya go. I’ve got my baby poop trained. If being trained to poop in a diaper, on a changing table, is worth anything at all…it’s at least worth a laugh!
