9mo DS with odd new weeing habit - should I take advantage?

[TaurielTest]

During a change, I generally let DS roam around a bit with no nappy on. He's taken to crawling to a corner of the room, standing up against furniture, and weeing on the floor. Has done this about five times now. It's not a problem, but seems a bit curious. Maybe he likes it that way because he doesn't feel wet?
Has anyone else had this or something like this? Should I get a potty and strategically place it there, even if only to make the association in his mind? Or is that a mad idea, given that he's only nine months?

why is nine months mad? go with him as a child, not what others do. You could offer the potty at changes in a completely relaxed way and hopefully avoid the potty phobia that seems so common on here!

Just mad because I suppose I presumed - based on no real information at all, he's my first baby - there'd be no potties until he was at least two. I certainly don't want to push it - but then he does seem to have some awareness of when he's weeing.
What about the standing up thing? Do little boys tend to wee sitting down for a while then learn to stand up later, or has anyone had DS who wee standing up from the off?

Meant to say - thanks for the suggestion, i will look out for a potty and maybe just offer it at change time.

I have heard of little boys going straight to weeing standing up so that in itself is nothing strange. I second horseymum, if you are happy and he is happy then go with it. Offer the potty at change times and see how you get on. Agree that this kind of early introduction can be a very gentle way of getting them used to the idea of a potty.

was not a choice for me - ds didn't walk till 22 months so was sitting on potty to wee for ages before getting to the stage of standing at toilet! Sitting is probably easier as less messy as long as he is pointing down!

If I had waited until my DS was 2 to offer a potty I would've:

• forced him to poo his pants unnecessarily for 9 months (he was clean by 15 months)
• forced him to wet himself unnecessarily for 6 months (he was dry by 18 months)
• contributed God knows what to global warming through nappy use
• attempted potty training while he was in a very difficult, uncompliant age

There's a lovely window of opportunity around 14 months when they can follow instructions and process sequences, but have not entered into the "understanding of self" mine-mine-mine no-no-no stage.
