Potty Mouths

I just read the most interesting article on how toddler's , at one time or another, come up with the word "poop" and think it is hilarious.  This is definitely the case with my three year old grandson.  He just thinks that word is so funny and should be used all the time.  I think he realizes what it means and really gets my attention when he uses it.  This article suggests that when a toddler is using the word, that you should tell him or her that bathroom talk like "poop" can only be used in the bathroom.  So,  send him or her to the bathroom and let them say "poop" all they want to.  This will give them an outlet and eventually they will get bored with the topic, since their only audience will be the toilet.  Sounds wacky, but I think I will give that a try when the word "poop" comes up again while I am taking care of him.   HAAAA!!
