My daughter will be two next month. She knows what the loo is for and has previously often asked to sit on it and will pretend to do a wee, but never has until this week.
She's had a bit of nappy rash for the last few days so in the afternoons when I'm home with her, I've been letting her run around with no nappy on. A couple of days ago she said "oh, poo, poo", and led me towards the loo, where, to my delight, she duly did produce a poo! Since then, during nappy-off time, sometimes she'll tell me if she needs a wee or a poo, and sometimes I'll ask her. She has had a couple of accidents too, and has seemed quite upset by these (though obviously I've reassured her. Just as often though, she'll say she needs a wee or poo but then, when she's on the loo, nothing happens - she does seem to like the novelty of sitting on the loo and then wiping, flushing, washing her hands etc (with my help of course).
Her nappy rash is clearing up now and I'm wondering where to go from here, training-wise. Should I take advantage of the situation and buy her some pants and see how we go? Or should I stick with nappies for the time being? I think I'd be more certain if she was at home with me all the time, but I work in the mornings and she goes to a childminder, who also has three other mindees and probably not time to take her to the loo every five minutes.
Incidentally, when she has a nappy on she'll wee and poo in the nappy quite freely without a bother - it's not like she wants to be out of nappies yet, for example.
Sorry for ramble - I'd be grateful for any advice at all.
