My eldest didnt 'get' the whole potty training thing until 3.5, but when he finally did, he did it with ease and no input by me. Blissfully easy.
Because of this, I had no intention at all of potty training DS2 until at least 3. Because in my experience, leaving it later meant the whole experience was stressfree and easy for all.
However, as always, my second son is different from my first!
First of all he's been telling me when he's done poo since he was 12 months. He'd pat his bum say 'bah' (thats what he calls poo) and now fetches me the wipes and nappies, all totally unpromepted.
He doesnt tell me when he wants a wee but he shows control over it.
For example, every night without fail (and its different times of the evening) I'll get him undressed to put pyjamas on then he'll escape out the room, run to hos brothers room run under his cabin bed and do a wee in the same spot.
Its become a game to him because Im trying to catch the little monkey before he wees on his brothers floor. DS2 loves being chased and rejoices when he had won and done a wee.
These signs tell me he could be ready.
But he's only a little 20 month old. It seems very young to me?
