Rowan has just developed an excellent awareness of the contents of his nappy. Since about last Tuesday he has been regularly grabbing at his nappy (picture a toddler bending over and grabbing his crotch!) while shouting Doo! to tell us he’s done a poo. Sometimes its not a poo (but I think he’s either telling us he’s done a week or is about to poo as I changed him thinking he wanted a fresh nappy, and he had pooed 5 minutes later) but he has told us about (I think) every poo since then, which is amazing as he gets nappy rash if we don’t notice the poo pretty quickly.

We’re not going to push the potty training but I might get a couple of pullup cloth nappies so we can offer him the potty when he does this at home.

Yay Rowan! He might not be talking much (although he is getting better – more on that later) but he is working on some stuff in that clever little brain!
