We're about a week and a half into potty training with DD (2.6) and it's mostly going really well. She's gone from shrieking "what is it?" At a poo to being able to say "I think I'm doing a poo" and performing in the potty some of the time. Wees are a bit more tricky but I know she has good muscle control as she stopped one mid flow when she wasn't on the potty and then started again when we put her on the potty. Today she shouted "I think I'm doing a wee" when she was. It was two seconds after I'd reminded her to go to the potty if she needed a wee and as I ran from the other room (where 7mo DS had been getting himself in a pickle with something) I said "great! Go to the potty!" ... However she just stood there weeing.
My question is this: am I expecting too much for her to go to the potty on her own steam or is she being lazy (she has massive form for laziness)? And how do I encourage her to get herself there on her own?
