My 14 month old daughter has been showing an interest in using the potty for about 6 months now. It is on and off, but she has seemed interested. She has used it at least 50 times so far. Poo only once though. Today I decided to put her in a Pull-up. I told her that it was big girl underwear and that she needed to tell me if she needed to go potty. I brought her in once and she went. A little bit later she walks over and bangs on the bathroom door, so I take her in and sure enough she goes again. Just before bed I put her on the potty again and she goes. She is in bed for about 15 minutes and then she just starts screaming. I give her a few minutes...still screaming. I go in talk to her and then leave the room hoping she will calm down. About 15 minutes later she is still carrying on. I go back in and she stinks. She was trying to tell me that she needed to go poop and I was not listening to her. Poor thing. I changed her and laid her back down and she went right to sleep. The poor thing was trying to tell me. Do you ever not pay attention when your kids are trying to communicate something to you?
