Sorry - originally posted in chat then realised this forum existed!
DS is 22mths old. We weren't really planning on starting potty training till spring-ish or when he seemed ready. I am 20 weeks pregnant so thought summer would be good as I'll be off work then on mat leave.
Anyway on christmas eve DS, completely out of the blue, says 'mummy need wee-wee' and takes my hand, leads me to the bathroom where he points to toilet and says 'sit there'. A bit shocked I go with it, remove his trousers and nappy and hold him on toilet where he does a wee.
After this he has been telling us when he needs and/or has gone to toilet. after christmas we brought a potty which he sits on and tonight happily did another wee. We praised and encouraged him loads.
We are the sort of parents who like to read up, prepare etc. this has taken us by surprise. I don't want to rush or push DS but do feel he is telling me he is ready. How do I carry this on? What should we do to keep encouraging him but allowing him to move at his own pace? Any advice much appreciated!
