I realise I'm very lucky - DD is 3.2 and has always been a 'good' child - she didn't walk till late, but since she has been walking she will come when asked and stays near us in shops, etc.
Then this week hit! We're attempting toilet training. It's not going terribly well. She'll tell me she needs the toilet - when she's already wet herself. If I make her sit on the potty every hour or so she will go and stays dry all day. Poo still usually ends up in the knickers, although today we did manage to get her to go on the potty.
She also wanders off and when we call her she runs in the opposite direction, giggling. We get cross, we count and she giggles. Today she has to hold hands or have reins on. She got a bit cross about that when we were out earlier, but we didn't give in - just reiterated 'When you come to us when we call THEN we can stop using reins' etc.
Just now DH was getting ready to take her out to give me an afternoon's peace, and as he was getting himself organised, she'd opened the front door and started off down the garden path without him.
Please tell me it's a phase and all 3 year olds do it.
Please tell me she'll crack the toilet training.
Is it too early for
?
