Adventures in potty training

I'm not sure I want to tell this story, its kind of embarrassing and something that will really gross you out until you are a parent. I'll risk it.

David has been talking more about his bodily functions, and he goes to his little potty and points in there and says "poopoo." He also tells me when he goes in his diaper. So yesterday I decided to give it a try and let him run around naked after his bath for a while until he said he needed go to. He came and told me he needed go to, so we went to the bathroom and I brought Goodnight Moon. So I got him seated and showed him how to point down (everyone tells me to teach boys sitting down first), then I was reading to him and he was sitting on the potty. He kept standing up and then sitting down, back and forth. Suddenly I felt this warm wet sensation on my foot. You can guess what that was?? I jumped up startled, and that scared David and he was embarrassed and starting crying. I tried to help him point down but he wouldn't go anymore so he asked for a diaper, and I put it on him and then he went. Then he wanted the diaper off because it was wet but didn't want another diaper put on so I decided to leave him be a bit longer and see if we couldn't try again. After about 2 minutes he comes up to me and says "poopoo" and points across the room where he had went in a pile on the carpet. LOL

Well, he's not two yet. Something's not quite clicking in our communication, and there's no hurry. We'll give it another whirl in a month or whenever we get the urge.
