Privacy!

You are definitely on your way to potty-training. You're ALMOST 22 months old, and within the past 2 months or so, I have really seen a change. I noticed a couple months ago that you would go behind chairs, or in corners, etc, and strain like you were pooping. You might not always poop, but it was definitely a sign of wanting privacy. Recently, and especially tonight, you have been going into the kitchen closet, and closing the door. 9 times out of 10, you're pooping. :) Tonight, I caught you running to the closet, so I swooped you up and took you to the potty in the downstairs bathroom. You motioned to close the door, and seemed to get frustrated if I would open it. It sounded like you were pushing, and both daddy and I thought we heard something "plop," but nope. Either way, it's a definite sign that you're able to tell when you're going to poop and wanting privacy to do so. You still have a ways to go, but at this age, I'm SUPER impressed that we're even this far! You're SOOOO independent and very smart. I wouldn't be surprised if you just kind of figured it out - which would be GREAT because I'm dreading potty training!!!!! :)

Just put you to sleep, and I said "I love you," and you said it right back to me! Love you so much!!!
