Reasons why I think he's ready:
He has peed in the toilet three or four times today
He asks to sit on the toilet (sometimes), is really interested in the process, really enjoys wearing pants, and has been asking to use the toilet/potty for a while, he also tries to clean his own bottom.
he has VERY good communication
he is very resistant to the idea of going back into nappies
Reasons I don't think he's ready
He is only 2.4
He has peed on the floor 3 times today (including a really big pee minutes after doing a small one on the loo)
He doesn't tell us when he needs to pee, I feel that the fact that he has peed in the loo so many times today is just that he happened to be sitting there when it came out. In fact I am not at all sure he has understood the concept of telling us before he pees.
I really don't mind if he is not ready, I have only tried it because he kept asking to sit on the loo and trying to wipe his own bum.
Please can you tell me, do you think I should stop and wait a while, or is this a normal part of the process and I should carry on? If so, how long is it likely to take before he understands he has to tell us before he does it?
Many thanks for any advice/suggestions
