We're not really potty training Callen b/c it's winter and I'm lazy and Dave's no help. But, after lunch today when I was getting Callen out of his high chair, he said "poop" and I smelled him and asked, "Did you poop?" He said, "no poop," and I looked and sure enough, no poop. But since he was stinky, I knew a poop must be coming so I took of his jeans and diaper and had him sit backwards on the little potty (in case he peed so the pee would go in the potty and not all over his feet and the floor if he sat forwards). I left him alone and sat at the kitchen table. He said, "poop!" so I went to check and there was a pea-sized pebble of poop in the potty. I told him he needed to stay there. Then later, he said, "more poop!" so I went to check and there was more poop but not by much. He signed "bunny" and said "poop." "Bunny poop!" Me: "you mean your poop looks like bunny poop?" "Yeah," he answered. Funny boy! So I left him be again. And then, he did it! He pooped in the potty! I clapped and said, "yay!!" So when I was putting his diaper back on him later, he was clapping and saying "yay!" I reaffirmed how happy we were that he pooped in the potty!
I wish he could just be potty trained already and I wouldn't have to put in the hard work. I guess if I really want to do it I need to put the baby gate back up so I can have him only in one room of the house. I tried it a couple months ago and it was just too hard to keep an eye on him every second so he'd end up peeing on the floor and I didn't see it until later. :(

8/8/12: C, potty, & words
Tonight, Callen pointed to the window well and said "da-doe" and so I was guessing things and he was shaking his head no to all of them. Then I finally said, "window" and he nodded. I gave him a high-five. :) So now Callen can spontaneously say "da-doe" (window)!
He's also been saying "Bao!" for "boom," while sweeping his arms out wide. He likes to say it when watching the best helicopter video ever in the world when the helicopters are blowing things up. "Bao!" He also can say "yeah" (yes) and he likes to shout "yay!" when he's excited about something, like getting to go outside. :) He knows his speech therapist's name and recognized her photo tonight and said, "mi-mi" (Mandy). Originally, he was saying it better, like "ma-dee" but now he's saying mi-mi consistently.
Yesterday, Callen pooped on the little potty all by himself. I had got him out of his crib, changed his diaper, and put him down and he came to me with his fingers on his nose. I asked him, "are you stinky?", but he wasn't, so I said, "do you need to go potty?" and he ran into the bathroom. I stuck him on the toilet but there is no kid seat so he didn't do anything and I said, "Let's go find the little potty in the basement" so we got it out and had him sit on it. Then he sat on the little potty seat on the big toilet and then back on the little potty. About this time, I went outside to put something in the mailbox and then encountered some yellow jackets on the porch that I killed, and by the time I got back inside, Callen came running into the dining room, making a face and sticking his tongue out. It occurs to me that maybe he actually went so I asked, "did you go potty?" and we walked into the bathroom, and sure enough, there was a huge #2 in the little potty. After I cleaned him up and took care of the business, we gave him lots of praise! It will be interesting to see if he'll be interested in continuing to tell me, or if he's grossed out by it all since he kept making a face and sticking out his tongue for awhile afterwards. :) This morning, he did come grab me, saying "mama mama mama" loudly and pinching his nose with his fingers so we put him on the little potty. After a few minutes (I had gone back to the kitchen table to leave him to his business), he signed "all done" so we put his diaper and clothes back on. Not long after, he was stinky so I guess he did have to go but just didn't want to wait it on on the potty?
