body awareness

[Bookwormprincess]

Thought I'd share with you the funny thing my son has started doing now.

I was trying to teach him about his bodily functions in preparation for potty training (although he's got another 6 months at least before we try). So I showed him where his wee comes out every time I changed his nappy.

But now, every time we change his nappy or ask him if it needs changing, he clutches his little willy and says "wee wee". He's quite obsessed with it now, must be a boy thing! It makes me laugh! And if ever he has a tinkle in the bath he just stands there looking at it and is quite amazed. It's so funny!

Just looked back at my old post and had to chuckle, because now at 3yrs old Ellis, in the last stages of potty training, is nearly always playing with his you know what now! That's the trouble with pants, it is now very accessible. The other day, he pulled down his pants and says "I just want to look at my willy". What do you say to that? Having to use lots of distraction techniques now, it's quite funny. Boys, hey!

Snap, Jack says the same and even if he sits on the toilet and doesn't touch the toilet seat he says he doesn't need to wash his hands!!! Boys hey x

Made me laugh when I read what your Jake does.
Haven't even got to teaching a stand up wee yet! What joys to look forward to. Did your boys learn that when you started potty training or when they were a bit older? I've told my husband that's his job to teach that new skill.
