I would like it to be as stress free as possible. I keep reading about waiting until the child is ready as there will be fewer accidents and it will be easier. Should I be aiming for two and a half? I don't think he would have any idea if I asked him to tell me when he wanted a wee, it seems like setting him up to fail.
He is very interested, he currently sits on a potty and the toilet quite happily when fully dressed or between nappy changes/before the bath but has only peed once in a potty by accident. He normally gets up takes a couple of steps and pees he looks a bit shocked when he pees sans nappy.
He has seen me on the toilet and is very interested and (tmi, sorry) if he has a poo I put it down the toilet and say something along the lines of 'poo poo goes in the toilet, bye poo poo'. Every time he sees a toilet he says 'pee pee in there mammy' so he gets the concept, but although he knows when he has a dirty nappy he's never done anything to indicate he knows he's wet.
Any tips?
