Delaying potty training, will it spoil it?

[Lizita]

I'm going on holiday in a month's time and have always intended to wait till we get back to start potty training (She turns two while we're on holiday). I have had a potty in the bathroom for ages now (impulsive buy!) and my dd likes to sit on it for fun. But recently I am starting to think she really is ready to start potty training now. For a while she has told me when she has weed on the floor before bathtime, and she is very aware & amused by pooing etc. Then this evening when she claimed to have weed (i couldn't see any wee on the floor) I told her to sit on her potty and she did, but she got very upset when no wee wee came. This makes me think I should really jump on it now and start training in earnest, but I'm aware the holiday will disrupt it etc.... if i delay it do you think it'll spoil the moment and she'll lose interest? Or am I paranoid about the holiday unnecessarily?

PS the holiday is only for a week.

My DD is 2.5 and I started a week ago even though we are about to have a change in her routine. There will be 2 normal weeks at child minder, then one week at home with grandma and then a week in Spain with her parents and siblings. I embarked now as there never seemed to be a right time and it is so hot I felt sorry that she had a nappy on. She has never had accident at childminder but with me in am and eve and w/e she has never done anything other than farts on potty.

both mine were trained at about this time of year, shortly before going on holiday. if they are ready they can crack it in a few days and then it wouldn't affect your holiday too much. i would go for it now if she seems keen. but only if you really think she's ready.

you might have to be prepared to take a potty on holiday though and whip it out at various places. which can get a bit embarrasssing.
