DD is 21 months & we bought her a little chair type potty ages ago & left it in the corner of the bathroom. she sits on it now and again & we've told her what its for. we've always been very laid back about it & almost ignored it as I think she's still very young. however, she's told us a few times, generally just before bathtime that she wants a poo poo so she's obviously aware of the feeling. she asked for the pot the other night but ended up pooing on the floor next to it with only the last little bit going in once I'd sat her on. tonight she said poo poo & hubby took her upstairs, stripped her off & she sat on the pot & did a wee. she was delighted & very proud if herself afterwards. so, what now? I'm inclined to just carry on as we are really & let her lead the way & just ask her if she would like to use the pot maybe a couple of times a day....? DC2 due in May, is it a possibility after all that I may only have to deal with newborn nappies!?!
