Sit on My Knees

Eston isn't quite ready for potty learning (a new term I acquired yesterday when someone suggested that training is for non-human animals), but he has quite a lot of potty awareness. At dinner tonight, he said, "Hop down. I need to poop". We offered the potty (declined) and suggested that he go someplace private like his cousin Luis used to do (going #2 in his diaper, in a closet, just before potty learning). He said no and just stood at the table doing his business. We always ask him to sit on his knees or his bum at the table so he won't stand on chairs and fall. Dinner is so close to bath time that he wanted to finish dinner before a diaper change. After he finished his business, he said, "I need to sit on my knees, not my bum." Brilliant!
