could potty training really be on the horizon?

Jack has started showing signs that potty training might be upon our horizon, not that I see it happening tomorrow, next week, this month or even 3 months from now, it's just barely becoming a speck on the horizon!

Jack started correctly responding to "Jack, did you poop in your diaper?" or "Jack, do we need to go change your diaper?" questions a couple months ago. Here in the last few weeks he has started moving to the corner of the room when he is doing "his business" and does not want anyone to look at or see him during this time and when he is done he will promptly walk over to you and pull you by the hand to get a fresh diaper!

We have also been letting Jack come into the bathroom with us when we go and we tell him, "Mommy/Daddy are going to the potty." it must be starting to click because tonight I asked him to take his diaper to the trash can (he has been doing this for a couple months and has never put the diaper anywhere BUT the trash can) not following him or even thinking twice about where he actually put the diaper...This was until I went into the bathroom and saw his diaper soaking in the toilet! Haha! What a stinker!

I'm definitely not in a hurry to potty train and will not push until Jack is really, really ready and I know he really understands what's going on. I look at it like the longer we wait, the shorter (and hopefully easier) the whole process will be! Just know I am starting to see the speck on the horizon!

Go Jack Go!! that's great news. we are definately thinking like you. waiting until wyatt is really ready to start potty training before we start thinking about it. i've taken little parent quizzes about potty training and wyatt isn't even close to starting. time will tell!
