My 2.5 year old DS has been asking to wee in the potty and the toilet recently. I think he hears other children say it at nursery and also my two nieces, one of whom is being potty trained at the moment aged 3. He knows when he's wet and has made lots of progress lately with speech generally and taking trousers off etc.
Only thing is, I was planning to wait until the Summer. We are moving 200 miles away in 6 weeks and DC2 is arriving in April, so it just feels like it might be a bit much for him/encourage regression next year.
However - if he is ready now I didn't want to necessarily discourage him.
Thoughts??
Background - we did some potty practise last summer and he did a wee in the potty 4 days in a row, but told me he needed a wee while we were out on the 4th day, which I wasn't really expecting! I hadn't brought anything with me so I said he could just wee in his nappy, and then he wouldn't wee in the potty again. So I think I need to either do it 100% or wait a bit longer.
Is it best to keep him in nappies until we've got through the move and sibling arrival first though??
