I'm tempted to start potty training Cameron and before I do this, I'm giving anybody who reads this the opportunity to stop me from going insane or ending up in the loony bin. He is only 25 months old (almost 26!) and is...well, Cameron. He runs when you ask him to come here, he runs when he knows he has something he shouldn't. He is VERY quiet about all of his mischief and loves to eat...umm, poo. Am I crazy for wanting to attempt this?!? Here is what's making me want to try... He is ALWAYS talking about the potty and wants to sit on it before naps and bedtime (this could also be stalling...). He loves the potty book and and recently purchased Elmo Potty DVD. He doesn't run away when I ask him if he's pooped...in fact he tells me then says "ooh, gross...stinky poops" and then agrees with me when I ask if I should change it (again, he used to run away in fear whenever I asked him if I needed to change his diaper). TJ was trained at just 17 months...could he have passed this ultra-early potty training (especially for boys) gene to Cam? I have memories (they're buried very deep) of when I potty trained Drew...shudder...and it was NOT fun. I also have visions of cleaning up poo from more than just in his bed. As soon as I open this can of worms...I'm REALLY worried what will happen!! If anybody has any wisdom that they could share, I'm open to anything. If you want to just tell me I'm CRAZY and then run away saying, haha sucker!!! I understand. Really. Tell me what you think!

That surprises me that TJ was potty trained at 17 month's....????
A poo a day keeps the dentist away. Whatever Cam is absolutely the king of cutes!
No advice, just best of luck!! Parker doesn't show any interest in the toilet yet so I'm a few months away still but I think I'll tackle it this summer and I'll be coming to you for advice then. I'd say go for it though! Sounds like little Cam is ready...
I have some advice..... try it, and then if it doesn't go well totally quit and then pick it up again later down the road.. What do ya think? (Awesome wisdom, since I haven't had any kids of my own but this is what I would do) :) Mand
