All day long, I glance over to see Vanny lying on the floor in just a shirt. I wander the house to find where he left his trousers just to make sure I don't have to search for anything else. Many times I have found him in his crib, after his "nap" (advice on getting him to take a nap without quotation marks welcome!) pants-less, jumping up and down saying, "I just wake up!" (Both of us knowing full well, he never slept... but that's another post.)
The other day (after just such an encounter and some quality time on the potty chair) I kept walking into his room thinking, "I can't tell if this room smells funny." (Why I'm confessing this openly like this, I don't know) But I actually had the thought, "Maybe I should invite one of my friends over and ask them, 'Does this room smell like poop?'"

I volunteer Valerie. My smeller is broken. Though I can smell some poop usually.
I know the feeling of wanting to ask something embarrassing and not. I think there's been a few things (I think bodily) that I wanted to ask Valerie but then decided: Doesn't she already think I'm gross? Should I really reveal anything worse to her?
Nope. I've decided nope.
i hope two of my favorite brothers never read this but they shared a room and had a green room (I think the carpets were green). For several years it was lovingly dubbed the "pee" room. Let's just say they weren't toddlers at the time. The smell has faded if that gives you any hope. Hang in there. Can you put diaper on backwards or duct tape him in. Might be worth it for the sanity. When i potty train, i wrap super cheap presents and put them in a basket. Each time for the first few days they get to pick a present (toy car, bubbles, tootsie roll, etc.) Then i space them out. I'm sure you have better suggestions but that made it fun for them. Good luck
I always think I smell poop when I don't and then don't smell it when I should. It is scary...very scary.
