Hi, my dd is 2.7 and very good at communicating. Has been telling me about poo etc for ages. This morning we told her that we were going to potty train and she was excited. We put her in pants first thing and two hours later she wet herself. So she can hold it in but then not sure where to let it out. Anyway she must have had about 8 or 9 accidents during the day and 2 successes. I asked her when she went to bed if she wanted to do it tomorrow and she seemed very keen. I also want to give it another go where the weather is good and dh is on school hols. She has not been upset by having accidents and I'm sure it is good to keep trying but is it normal to start with such a small amount of success and how quickly do they usually get it? All the signs that she is ready are there (except for actually managing to do it!) Oh yes and I can't get her to just pee on the potty every half an hour because she just sits on it and then has an accident a few minutes later, she will only do it if she wants to! Very headstrong.
