My dd1 has just turned 2 and I'm thinking of potty training her in a couple of weeks when DH is off work for a week. We have a dd2 who is 5 months so am thinking the extra help will be good!
The thing is, we had a bit of a half hearted attempt in May, which we abandoned after a couple of days when it was clear she wasn't ready. She's now often waking up from her nap dry, and will sometimes tell me when she's done a poo nappy, and if she's left without a nappy and does a wee, she tells me she's weeing as she's doing it (but never tells me she's weeing whilst wearing a nappy). So I think she's more ready now and since DH will be off work I think it's worth trying.
So this morning I thought I'd get the ball rolling, and took her into the bathroom with me while I had a wee, and asked her to sit on her potty (she already had nappy off) just to practise. She point blank refused to go anywhere near the potty, let alone sit on it! So now I'm worried we've put her off when we tried her in May, and what will I do if we decide we're going to go for it in pants in a couple of weeks and she just refuses to sit on the potty?
I'm kind of hoping it'll just sort of fall into place when we get her in pants and she gets more of a wet sensation (although she's in cloth nappies so should already be feeling wet, just doesn't seem bothered by it)
Any thoughts? Should I just go for it?
