I say either his little boy parts or we have always called it a schmecky. He can't say the s so he calls it his mecky. When he is sitting on the potty and doesn't go, he says his mecky is broken. My little boy will be 3 in July. He will poo in the toilet, but won't pee in the toilet on a regular basis. good luck. My 2 girls were easier.

My daughter calls her privates her "front". I think I might use the same term for a boy. Or I might do as my nephew does. He call it his "bris".
But you'll get lots of different answers here Smile

I potty trained my 2 yr old recently and somehow never got to call it any name at all. I just ask if he needs to make wet or wowo and tell him only to make wet in toilet and not outside.

When is it used?!? He is fully toilet trained without naming it!!

I think it's best to use the real name- aiver/private part, if they ask. When they have to go you can say, "do you have to make?" this way they won't feel like you're trying to hide something by not using the real name of the part and lead to a healthy relationship with their body later on.

Ha! I tried to name the body parts in the last post but it changed them to eiver/private part. Anyway, we all know the real names I was referring to...
