He's only 23m, but seems ready. The others were much older and more mature when they trained. Ds2 has been training himself! He asks to go to the toilet, or tries to go by himself, and several times a week wears the same nappy for most of the day - keeping it dry. No sign of readiness with poos, though, but that may come if I actively toilet-train him.
My problem is what to do about school runs? I have to collect two children from different schools - narrow roads and narrow pavements, with hordes of families going both ways between the schools, so no chance of a discrete corner or drain if caught short - and the school run takes at least 45min, more often 1h. How do I work around it?
