Potty Talk

It must be natural to go through a stage of "potty talk"-right? We are in the thick of it now and although we are trying to discipline when and where it's acceptable to talk that way, it's just darn funny! His words of choice you wonder...? Well, let me share the list with you (yes there are more than one):
toot
tootsy
pass gas (personal favorite-ha ha)
poo-poo
pee-pee
or just a combination of all 5!
So as good parents we try not to laugh when our 2 year old thinks it's hilarious to say these words in front of us. Of course we aren't laughing at all when it happens at the dinner table. SO our newest tactic has been to tell Taylor that it's ONLY okay to use these words "on the potty" or "in the bathroom". Well true to form our very verbal son took us completely literally and now sporadically and randomly runs to the bathroom to yell out his unmentionable words to himself. Another tactic is to just jumble and mumble up your words at the dinner table in hopes that your parents don't really understand what you're saying. I can just see the wheels turning...if I whisper it does that count as saying it? Oh yes, you've got to love the twos!!!

Unfortunately I don't think boys outgrow this. Kevin still uses potty words- although his are MUCH worse than Taylor's!!
