housebroken

so potty training has taken an interesting twist... - our kid is housebroken. - yup. housebroken. like a dog. - a couple of days ago, he went out the dog door and came back a few minutes later holding a diaper full of poop. we've now seen him do this several times - go outside, poop, remove diaper, bring it back inside, announce his accomplishment. - so he is definitely acknowledging when he has to poop, is aware of when he does, and no longer wants to remain in a soiled diaper. i guess that's a good thing? - in other potty-training development, he fell off the wagon for a few weeks with regards to peeing on the potty. he had been doing very well with it until jeremy came to visit a few weekends ago and then he just stopped. but i have figured out how to get him to do it. if he is completely pants-less (no pants, no diaper) he will ask to go pee on the potty every time (unless he's strapped into his booster seat to eat - good times.) but if he has a diaper, pull-up, or big boy underwear on, he will just pee freely and at will. so we just have to deal with a half-naked kid running around at all times. progress?
