I had no idea toddlers this young were capable of lying!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105973 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 13:27:44 +0000 petunia354 2105973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If by telling me you mean running around screaming no when I ask him if he has pooped, then yes. Otherwise, still waiting for verbal confirmation at 26 Months!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105952 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 13:23:34 +0000 LuLu Mom 2105952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E was 23 months, she regularly told us and ran to the bathroom, it took awhile to get the potty down. She was (is) potty trained by 25 months. We do still wear a pullup at night, that's hit and miss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105944 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 13:22:04 +0000 mediagirl 2105944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 2.5 - I wish she told me when she pooped. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105819 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:49:13 +0000 Anagram 2105819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Lo says it all the time now, and half the time she hasn't actually pooped. And she always tells me after, not before, so I'm not taking it as a readiness sign yet, although she has peed in the potty a few times (just by sheer chance). Eta: she started about a month ago, maybe more, so around 18 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105802 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:45:09 +0000 blackbird 2105802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ran into this around 18 months? She'd say "pooey". MIL wanted us to potty train her then and I said no way! And she still says it when she goes now, but she says it a LOT and sometimes i think it's a game to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105784 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:37:22 +0000 mrsjyw 2105784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20? 22? months? Before his 2nd birthday.</p> <p>We just potty trained at 27 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105780 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:35:52 +0000 Adira 2105780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander (2 years) recently started telling us SOME of the time. He's definitely not ready for potty training yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105776 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:33:52 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2105776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's always been pretty verbal...she started telling me sometimes around 14 months and says it every time now at 18 months. I still don't think she's quite ready to train yet though and little sister is due in 6 weeks so we're waiting for more readiness signs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105729 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:12:01 +0000 Chillybear 2105729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She started saying "poop" and "toot" about a month ago, but sometimes its a false alarm. Like she'll say it just to get out of doing something, yesterday i was getting her in her car seat and she wasnt pleased about that so she said "poop" so of course i got her unbuckled to check and she didnt poop. </p> <p>My favorite conversation happened a few weeks ago, we were playing on the floor in my parents living room and she walks up to me and says "poop" so i ask "did you poop?" she says "no" I say "Are you lying?" and she roared like a lion. My dad nearly fell off his chair (BTW she did poop) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105513 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:47:59 +0000 ShootingStar 2105513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: My son does that too. We call it the poop tent, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105512 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:47:00 +0000 Smurfette 2105512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around 19/20 months. We have been putting her on the potty (and day care does) but she really just wants to sit on it for 2 secs and then wants off. She isn't ready for potty training at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105507 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:45:51 +0000 travellingbee 2105507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around that same age but he doesn't have interest in going in the potty yet and he is 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105502 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:42:20 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2105502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 2.5 and he's been telling us since he was 20 months. We are nowhere near ready to potty train. He has zero interest and I'm not looking to force it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105494 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:39:20 +0000 chopsuey 2105494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was 18-19 months old when she started telling us.<br /> DS started telling us after his 2nd birthday. </p> <p>We potty trained DD 2 weeks shy of her 2nd birthday, DS we trained just recently at 26 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105489 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:36:53 +0000 cascademom 2105489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About the same time as @autumnlove:. He would go behind his tent and poop in his diaper. We started potty training at 2 years old. Once we did that, he would identify his need to pee and poop better. Before that, it was kind of joke that he was pooping behind the tent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105488 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:36:40 +0000 Amelieisme 2105488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son did that early, like not too long after turning one. He didn't do it every time, but most of the time. He is now 2.5 and we are really trying to potty train, but its not going too well. Not sure if we missed a window, but I don't think he was ready then (or now??). He now will deny if he pooped because he doesn't want to stop what he's doing and go have his diaper changed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105482 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:34:01 +0000 fancyfunction 2105482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She just started telling us maybe 2 months ago or so at 25 months. We just got her a potty and she's very interested in sitting on it, reading books and watching her Elmo potty DVD. Going to branch myself for training soon ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105478 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:33:25 +0000 autumnlove 2105478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 20 months for both kids. We started potty training at 26 months for LO 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105476 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:32:57 +0000 Cherrybee 2105476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is 19.5 months and she has been doing this for a few weeks, too. We tried E with a potty a few weeks back for this very reason but she wasn't quite ready so we have put it away again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-telling-you-they-went-poop#post-2105466 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:29:33 +0000 daniellemybelle 2105466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For weeks now, LO has been telling me every time she poops in the morning which is always about 15-30 minutes after she gets up. As soon as she is done she will say, "Poo poo." She tells me probably 75% of the time during the rest of the day. I'm not sure what she does when she is at daycare two days per week - they haven't mentioned it.</p> <p>She's coming up on 17 months and I don't know if this is typical. I've read it's a sign of potty training readiness, but I don't really think she's totally ready yet. </p>
