A dump in the dump truck
"My daughter, now 4, managed to poo into a toy dumper truck that was
about an inch square! She was playing in her bedroom and I 'found it'
whilst tidying up. She was about 16 months at the time and remembered
for ages that 'I did a poo in that didn't I mummy?'.

He used to copy the dog
"My middle son used to go outside and poo in the garden because that
was what the dog did. I used to be so worried the neighbours would see
him out there naked having a poo. I'm glad to say he doesn't do this anymore."

He keeps leaving me little presents
"It was a Saturday afternoon and my husband was busy doing some DIY.
I was deep in conversation with my mum when my son (2 years old) came
over to me and said 'coc coc' (means 'choc choc'). I told him he could
have some after his tea. He went to the other side of the room and, in
a couple of minutes, he came back to me and was rubbing his hands together
and saying 'coc coc' again. I looked at his hands and told him not to
move and put the phone down on my mum. I carried Sam into the kitchen
and took a closer look at what he had done. He had poo all over his hands,
all down his legs and, when I went into the lounge, well he had taken
his nappy off, decided to get all the poo out of the nappy and had smeared
it all over one half of the carpet. It was ground in! We had only been
living there a couple of months at the time and that was the last thing
I needed. Sam still leaves me what look like little dog poos all over
the house, depending on where he is at the time. I just can't wait for
him to be fully potty trained so that I wont nearly stand on any more
little surprises from him."

There was poo everywhere!
"After Mattie (then 2.5 years old) started toilet training, he was very
quiet one afternoon so I called him to see what he was up to. He shouted
(from upstairs) 'Mummy mummy come and see! I did a poo on the toilet!'
I went to the bathroom but he wasn't there so I called him and he said
'I am in your toilet, mummy!'. I went to our bedroom and he was stood
in the doorway (of the en suite loo), naked from the waist down, grinning
like a Cheshire cat, and there was poo everywhere! He had got off the
toilet halfway through his poo to wipe his bot, done some more on the
carpet and tried to clean it up with the white hand towel! It was down
his legs, all over the carpet and shower door, poo handprints on the doorframe
(which he had used to balance himself) all over the loo - gross! But he
looked so pleased with himself for doing it I couldn't tell him off. -
Bless!"

He forgot to lift the lid
"My husband still winds his younger brother (now 38) about this: when
he was about four, the little lad had left it til the last minute to go.
He ran into the loo and went but had forgotten to lift the loo lid up
so it had squidged out everywhere! He was so upset he locked the door
& refused to let his mum in."

Our neighbour has now put a fence up
"When Alice was two, she had watched her friend, a boy, have a wee on
the grass, so that's what she took to doing. We didn't mind - it was summer
and she was just learning. One day she came in and told me she'd done
a poo! It was right in the middle of our lawn - no wonder our next-door
neighbour has put a six-foot fence up now!"

Pass the sweetcorn
"A friend's child is potty training - she is 2.6 years old. The other
day, we were having a coffee, and she needed a poo. So my friend got the
potty out, sat it down, and Maisy sat there and did her business. Of course,
once she had done the poo, we all had to inspect it (lol) and then while
I was taking our cups into the kitchen, my friend went to get a new pair
of pants for Maisy. We both walked back into the room at the same time,
just in time to see Maisy, holding the poo, and eating sweetcorn out of
it! We've never laughed so hard ... classic!"
