DD1 is 2.6. She started asking for the potty at bathtime a few months ago (and did some wees & poos on it) but then lost interest. I was pg at the time, so didn't think it was a good time to push it.
DD2 is now 6 weeks old so I'm thinking i should start encouraging DD1 again. Her nappy is always wet when i change her after her nap, but i've no idea if she's weeing in her sleep or not. She is interested in other people going to the loo & sits on the potty with her friends at nursery (although she doesn't do anything on it) She can pull her trousers & pull-up nappies up & down. She asked for the potty yesterday (but it may have just been a bedtime delaying tactic?)
In august we are driving for 6hrs to stay with family for a week. DH thinks we should wait until we get back before we attempt to potty train, I think we should have another go at doing it now so she is well practiced by the time we go - what do you think?
I understand that ultimately she is the one who will decide when she is ready! I just feel like I should be doing more to encourage her. Assuming we did start encouraging it, it all went really well & she was potty trained by next weekend, would it be fair to take her on such a long car journey in August? Obviously we would make lots of stops, but we are bound to get stuck in traffic at some point... I would hate for her to get upset about having an accident (and then have to sit in it for ages)
