#1, #2, pee pee, poo poo, tinkle, doodie, piddle, plop, or, more plainly in terms of diapers, wet or dirty—there are so many words you can use to communicate for your toddler the type of potty going on.
In the potty training video above, Elmo's dad calls it "pee or poo" and tells him to "go with the flow" and do "what you gotta doo doo."
Have you and your little one come up with any creative "potty word" terminology?
Some parent friends of mine like to say, "Do you have Tweedle-dee or Tweedle-doo?" My aunt always politely asks the kids, "Are you decorating?" I have to admit an embarrassing weakness for saying "poop butt" (I'm working on it, alright?).
Some potty training survivors say that when your toddler begins to say and communicate with "potty words," it's time to hit the toilet training. And, once these potty words are established, you'll be using them A LOT. So you better pick some good ones—and maybe even ones you can regularly say...with a straight face.
What creative potty terms does your family use? Or have you found a way to avoid this conversation altogether?

We say pee & poo. I tried to say pee-pee, but my daughter refuses to say that, even though she insists on doggie, fishy, etc. She is also quite addicted to Elmo's Potty Time, even though she is not really into potty training at 29mo. In fact, she will intentionally wet her panties I think in order to get to wear another pair! Potty training is NOT going well in our home. I have found my daughter to be on a classically/stereotypically "male" developmental schedule with gross motor skills, speech, etc. So, maybe she is going to take her sweet time to potty train like a boy too!
we have this DVD and my daughter watches at least once a day. she loves it! she calls it "Elmo Daddy". whenever the segment of different names of pee and poop come up and that one kid says 'i call it a dookie' i scream back "no you dont!" i just dont believe anyone actually calls it that, LOL.
for whatever reason my younger son potty trained himself. I mean we bought him "Big Boy" underwear and told him if he wanted to wear them he needed to pee and poop in the toilet. He has some issues wiping his butt but hey he he gets the concept.
pepee and poop...the funny thing is that I have been using those words since I was a kid, and it wasnt until training my step son did we find out his bio mom's father wanted Jay to call him Pepe`, French for Grampa I think, lol...oh well, sorry, he lives with us!
We say pepee & caca, the caca comes from daddy (I believe it's spanish for poop, he's half mexican) and my daughter has just picked that up. When we go to the bathroom she will come in and either sit on her potty or she will grab toilet paper walk beside us and try to wipe our butt (she gets the side of our leg) as she says "caca"....it's really pretty funny! =) She just turned 19 months so and I think we are about ready to start potty training.....wish us luck!
I use pee or potty and poopy. My son yells out that he is wet when he has pooped!
pee pee or poo or do you need to go potty. pretty standard it seems.
My Son says that he "dropped a bomb",lol. He had np going to pee-pee but, #2 was awful, he just would not go. I think he was scared of falling in or something. Anyway... My DH was like it is just like those planes dropping bombs, he would have the sound effects and all,lol. I do not even know how my DS knew what he was talking about but, he did and well it worked, he has been "dropping bombs" for over a year now, so I am happy with it.
i dont know where my son got it from but the first time he pooped in the potty he called it a chicken...from then on that how he refers to it lol
We refer to it as going poop or going pee, or right before we leave the house or go to bed, you empty your bladder.
I don't really want my kid telling the teacher, "I need to woo-woo!"
