Answer 1

my 21 month old does the same.  her 3 older brothers and sisters did it too. and im sure her baby sis will be drivingme nutty in a year and half.  

She comes running out nekkie, jumps out with her arms out stretched yelling "tada!" in her d**n bday suit.  She is now dressed in clothes she has a d**n hard time gettin out of.  Makes potty training alil more difficult, but im sick of seeing her lil cheeks runnin by.

we also got some of them safety k**b covers that you gotta squeeze to open the door.  

its a stage that is the most stressful and time consuming next to teenage years.  take it one day at a time!   thankfully they do grow out of it.

Answer 2

Yes he's in that terrible two stage and yes it's also time to potty train, just note that babies learns different ways and at different pace. 2 year olds are smart enough to know what they mostly should and should  not do. I have six biological children the oldest one is 30 and the youngest one is 3 then I have 7 children whom I adopted totaling 13 kids. At two my son too took off his pants however, he was already potty train. Now he's always taking off his shirt.

Yes potty train him, but when he take off his nappie, tell him to hide it so no one will see. If he doesn't  cover it himself you then take his hand and cover his weewee and say nobody suppose to see this, it's private you better hide it. I gave my son a wash cloth to hide when he took his clothes off and when he didn't have a cloth he would hide it with his hand. It took me a couple of weeks for him to start covering it then about two weeks for him to leave his clothes on but now he takes his shirt off claiming to be hot.

There are many babies who goes through this, I remember my sister in law telling me that they call her son whodeanie (can spell his name so to me this is what it sounds like :-)) because he always got out of this clothes and they couldn't figure out how and this was just before he turn two. My son start taking his clothes off in his late 2's.

I remember my baby coming to me showing me his weewee telling me, "mom somebody cut my peepee." I explain to him pee come out of that whole, it's not cut. He then said, "oh". My baby like to do the opposite of what he is told too. So if I want a kiss, I tell him don't you ever kiss me and he then tries to kiss me. So you have to try different things to see what works for your little sweetheart.

So there's nothing abnormal about your son he sounds like he's all boy and just want to experiment with everything he see. When my son put things in the toilet I would tell him to get it because I can't stick my hands in nasty booboo water and I express how nasty it is. If he doesn't get it while you taking it out let him see you do it frowning the whole time taking it to the sink telling him how nasty it is. This gave him something to think about and he stopped putting things in there. Babies love water, water really amazes them.  Well I hope this helps and good blessing with your little Angel.

Answer 3

Maybe he's ready to potty train.  My daughter sometimes takes off her diaper so I've started to potty train her.  Also, we make sure she has on pants so that it's harder for her to get her diaper off but when she doesn't wear pants, like with a gown or a dress, I put her in a pull up instead of a diaper and she leaves that alone.  Aren't toddlers so much fun?!?

Answer 4

So keep the car keys and stuff where he can't get them.  The fact that he gets them and does whatever with them isn't HIS fault.  YOU are the parents YOU need to keep these things out of his reach.  As for him taking off his diapers...He does it because he has an audience.  You react whenever he does this...he will continue until you stop reacting.

Answer 5

Potty training should help with the nappy issue! lol, my daughter used to run from hers but then when she knew I wanted her NOT to wear one she suddenly DID want to! lol, children!!!

Anyways, I don't think he is knowingly doing anything wrong. My daughter (who is almost two) is getting increasingly cheeky. I think she is developing a bigger sense of humour, like, she'll throw all the cushions off the sofa and laugh her head off and want them put back on so she can do it again! And yesterday she kept throwing her toys out the bath and calling for me to come see then going 'O' *gasp* in mock horror like 'look at that! Wasn't me!' lol

I think the key is if YOU find it funny then they will do it more (and its ok to let them have fun and be cheeky) but if certain things are not ok (like your chain down the toilet) then its important to not give a big reaction (which is what they crave) and maybe in a low voice just say 'that was naughty' or whatever and leave it at that. If its not fun they will stop doing it.

Answer 6

Okay it is kinda cute but serious at the same time. Sounds like baby boy needs to be pottytrained. Also it would be a good idea to start setting some boundaries for him. He seems to be off the chain. Let him know what goes in the toilet pee and p**p not other stuff. Also babies do stash stuff that is normal. Seriously give the tot some boundaries because this is where this type of stuff begins befor it turns into a problem. Oneday youll be looking 4 those keys and theyll be in a baby hole.
