Ds is nearly 2yr 2mo and often says No to putting on a nappy and runs away V.V. fast. Bought him some pants and he's shown a lot of interest and clearly understands the potty is for wee-wee (and possibly poo but we're not thinking about that yet).
The key problem is that he hasn't actually ever said that he wants a wee let alone got on the potty and done it. I've spent the whole day trying to see if he's ready. And he HARDLY ever wees! Started at 9.30. Weed half on the floor about 10, I managed to catch a bit. Then i put a nappy on for a bit coz he was asking for it and he weed in that. i took it off again and he didn't wee for HOURS. He then may have weed about 3pm whilst I was doing the washing up but he was also playing with some water and bubble mix! Sounds ridiculous but I wasn't sure whether he'd done it or whether he'd mixed up a peculiar wee-looking mixture with the water and bubble mix!!! Did have a slight authentic smell. Gave him the benefit of the doubt and celebrated anyway. Then after tea he ran outside and weed out there, then again another hour later (after we'd nipped out briefly in pants).
The problem is that am not sure he's ready but he's really got excited about being a big boy and wearing pants. Spent ages grinning widely and saying 'big boy' and running about clutching his pants and saying 'pants good'. Shall I persevere??? Have taken a week off work to stay at home and have a go, me this week, then Dh next.
