I have a 2year old that has peeing completed when it comes to the potty. But when it comes to bowel movements he will come tell me "boo boo" when he has already done it on himself... HELP!!!!

He's not ready. -
He just isn't recognizing the signal yet. Keep trying...he will get it with more practice. -
he's still young. pooping can be difficult for some kids. some kids feel as if a part of their body is falling away and it can be scary. you just need to give him time. try to notice his cues when he's starting and try to get him on the potty. i bribed my son with baskin robbins. he didn't care at first but once i started ignoring him, he did it all on his own and i rushed him to baskin robbins at like 11am! he never had another accident after that. be patient.

Him at least telling you he pooped even in his diaper is a sign of moving forward. Don't push it, he's still young...he may not be 100% ready -
It's a learning process, and it sounds like he is doing fine, especially at such a young age. Hang in there and keep it positive.
