My DD is 24mo and still mostly babbles, have lots of words, but very few two word sentences. At her 2 year review last week, the HV advises to start potty training at around 2 1/2, based on her language ability. But two days ago, she suddenly said wee wee, wee wee and went and pointed at our toilet. We put her on it and she sat there until she pooed. We went to buy a toilet trainer that day.
Since then she has been obsessed about the wee wee as she calls the toilet. Unless she is busy, she keeps asking us to take off her clothes and sits on the toilet. It's basically her new game. But mostly she is not peeing or pooing, just standing up and sitting down on the stool, and playing with her soft toys. She has managed twice to do it on the bathroom floor. Once before a bath so we don't know what she was really doing before. Another time she climbed down the stool but refused to put her nappy back on, then proceed to quickly gave that stare and a poo. She is happy to put her nappy back on when she has finished her toilet play.
Sorry for the long post. But I'm not sure how good her bladder control really is. If she still don't even tell us she has pooed in her nappy yesterday, surely she can't be toilet trained? Or should I really be starting it properly as she has indicated strongly she wanted to?
