Trying...

It turns out having a big bro does make you try things earlier.  After saying "poo" several times during lunch, I picked Hayes up from his booster seat expecting to find a dirty diaper, but he was clean so I set him down.  He promptly  walked over to the toilet and said "poo."  So I stripped him down and let him sit on the little potty we'd been using as a step stool.   He spent a few minutes alternating between sitting on it and attempting to put his hand in it.  I snapped the cute picture posted below and went to help Grant finish his lunch.  A few seconds later, Hayes was grinning in the hall and repeated once more: "poo"...and this time, sure enough there was a pile of poo...right beside the potty.  While I was cleaning that up, I heard a distinctive splashing sound and turned to find Hayes peeing on the rug behind me.  Hayes thinks he's ready for potty training, but so far, I disagree! :)
