I don't have much to add. I've done a lot of childcare work in the past. I agree kids are usually not subtle when they need to go in terms of making obvious faces.
My favorite story in this vein involved a friends eldest daughter, Rose. Rose was mostly toilet trained at this point (I think she was around 2 1/2), although she still wore diapers for long car trips or other simular occations. Once we had stopped to get some food while on a trip. She started making the most ridiculous faces. Think old Tex Avery cartoons. Eyes bugging out of her head and such. Her mother asked, "Rose, are you okay? Are you trying to go potty?" To which Rose responded, "Hurggggggggg." "ROSE! What's wrong?" "Mommy, my stinky is stuck!"
