Am I potty training?!

[quinny]

Someone please tell me no.  N has been taking his diaper off when he poops and has shown a lot of interest in the potty.  So much, that it now takes up permanent residence in our family room.  He loves to sit on it and say 'pssssss' but has only pee'd a handful of times and by accident. Just now,  I was in the kitchen when he started talking loudly and I went into the family room and he was pulling at his diaper, standing over the potty, saying 'pssssss'.  I took it off but he didn't pee.  Maybe I was too late?  Maybe he's just hyper from his nap?

He's only 19 months old!  Too young to get it, right?  I don't want to drive myself crazy trying to train him before he's capable of understanding but it seems like he's showing signs? 

Tell me he's too young.  I'm not ready for this.

some kids train young. some kids show a temporary interest and then lose it. I'd just take his lead with no expectations. If he does it...great. If not...he will. eventually.

Yeah.. he pooped on the floor about 10 min after I wrote this. I'm not holding my breath I put him back in cloth diapers though which may get the ball rolling, if he's serious. We had stopped cd'ing about 4 months ago because his poop was horrid. It was messy and runny and awful. Since he's been completely bottle free and drinking way less milk, it's been consistently plopable. We were going to transition him back this summer anyhow, since the new baby will be in cd. I just moved the timeline up, with his new found interest. We'll see.

Our guy did similar things starting probably around that age...and he's STILL not potty trained at 3 1/2. I've got the opposite problem now.

Even I'm having a rough go with my little man as well. I have some days that he shows lot of interest in using the potty, other days? Nada! Sigh! It's going to be a long road for us. I can't even get him to poop regularly. He's almost 38 months old. Sigh!
