My recently turned two year old is showing some signs of being ready to potty train, but I'm a bit reluctant as I know he's so young still. He currently:
- tells us when he needs a poo at least 50% of the time, the rest of the time if I notice the signs and ask him if he needs one he'll say yes. Then he'll generally go about 5 minutes later
- tells us immediately when he's done one and insists that we change his nappy straight away
- can pull down his own trousers (although he can't quite get them over his feet yet)
- when he has his nappy off before bath time, if he starts weeing he'll say 'oh no, on the floor!' and points and says clean clean until we wipe it up
- is regularly going for an hour or two with a dry nappy in the day time
- knows what a toilet is for, and likes to help flush the chain and wave bye bye
He doesn't tell us when he needs a wee but I don't think he can feel it with a nappy on. He'll sit on the potty happily for a few seconds and sat wee wee but won't stay there long - although I suppose I could bribe him with Peppa Pig on a phone?
Does this sound like he's starting to be ready? What else should he be doing?
I saw a suggestion of putting kitchen roll on their nappy so they can feel wet when they wee - has anyone tried this and did it work? Wondering if it's worth a go at that first to see if he can work out when he's weeing.
If he's too young I'm happy to wait, I'm he's my first so not sure when to go for it.
