Argh Wise mumsnetters please help m. I’ve a just-2yo (2 last week) and an 8mo and wasn’t expecting to have to deal with this quite yet.
2yo has started saying nappies are for babies and this eve whilst bath was running she started pulling her nappy off looking hassled and said “potty potty” (we have a potty in bathroom as someone gave us one and had nowhere else to put it). I put her on it and she did a wee. She goes to childminder 2 days per week and a nearly 3 yo is potty training so she’s obviously been watching, plus likes to differentiate between herself (a big girl) and her sister (a baby). She’s pretty independent and insists on putter her own coat and shoes on etc. She has told me when she’s done a poo recently, but not when she’s about to do one (and when she’s busy I don’t think she cares to notice). Is she ready, should I encourage ? Was kind of hoping to wait till summer but if she’s readying now I’ll go for it.
Also, how the hell do I cope with an 8mo and a potty training 2yo?
Could it be possible that she is gradually readying and I don’t need to worry quite yet ?
Thanks all !!!
