ds is 17 months, and very interested in us (and the dog!) weeing. he has started pointing to the toilet and saying "wee-wee", so the last couple of nights before his bath I asked if he wanted to do a wee-wee, balanced him on the edge of the toilet seat and, to my amazement, he concentrated for a while and squeezed one out! I wasn't expecting to do toilet training till next summer, and don't really think we (or he) are ready to go the whole hog yet, but I will happily sit him on the loo anytime he asks and praise him for anything produced. (I fully realise the novelty may wear off by tomorrow)
my questions:
ds has a small willy. I can't imagine he could hold it and point without weeing all over his hands. so I'm sitting him down, thinking he can learn to stand later, but is this going to work or should I be trying "point and pee" right away?
will my haphazard approach slow things down later when we are ready to toilet train? I'm certainly not going to tell him he can't use the toilet if he wants, so the other option is to go the whole hog now, and everything I've heard suggests 17 months is WAY to young for successfully toilet training a boy.
