Advice needed.
My dd is 2.6 yrs. Last week we were on holiday and she did her first two dirty protests, poo all over the holiday cottages' travel cot. Those two times were were informed by her saying 'will you clean my bottom daddy?'. Today she goes for afternoon nap, I wander off downstairs to do bits and pieces ignoring the inevitable banging around in her room that goes on for 20 mins as she settles down. Go up at teatime...poo on the walls, on her bed, on her bed on the floor (afternoon naps taken on floor), rubbed in carpet, on the rocking chair...you get the picture
Regarding potty training, she is not a happy bunny when it is mentioned. She is aware when she has had a poo but has not told us yet she wants to go. Also she does not seem at all aware of when she is going to have a wee either. Ie before bathtime wandering round naked she will have a wee and look completely astounded so I assume its a big surprise to her.
So what do I do? How would you respond to poo everywhere? I have said so far that I appreciate her trying to help but cleaning nappies is for mummies and daddies and to ask if she needs it changing. Do we try to potty train her? Do I do a reward sheet for her not dirty protesting? And why is she doing this...because its fun?? Because she doesn't want to go to bed? To help?? Or maybe just because she wants to...and she's a toddler and that's what they do...
And any recommendations for getting the smell of poo out of the carpet will also be much appreciated
TIA
