DS is not quite 2, he has been displaying and interest in wees and poos, announcing when he's done one, announcing he's about to do one in the bath, then proudly producing and so on.
I had no intention of potty training yet as a) I thought he is too young b) I was going to wait until he asked for pants like all the other boys () c) we're moving house in a couple of weeks and d) we're having another baby in 6 weeks so figured that that would be enough change and upheaval for the time being (and i'm really lazy
Anyway after he'd announced then done a wee on his bedroom floor after his bath every day for a week I bought a potty. He now likes to sit on it, just after getting out of the bath and he does a wee and for the last few days has done a poo.
I thought this was great but had no intention of beginning 'potty training' per se, just letting him get used to the idea of using the potty, when it was convenient (for me)
But now The Book (SWSNBN), the MIL and my DP are saying this half hearted approach is a bad idea and we either reed to do it properly (too much hassle) or not at all (but he likes his potty)
Any thoughts?
