DS is 2.10 and I am considering potty training him, but he isn’t really showing the signs I have read about.
He is capable of weeing on the potty when he wants to (like as a game). When I tell him, very casually, that potties are for wees and poos he tells me he doesn’t want to poo on it. He never has dry nappies (well, only one). Has only once told me he’s done a wee. He never acknowledges when he’s done a poo but he runs about like crazy, doing naughty things like banging the tv, and I feel like he’s trying to attract my attention on some level. His verbal skills are excellent, and he will tell me if he’s got a snot, or needs a drink, etc.
Is he ready? Is it better to wait until he tells me he wants to use the potty? Will this day every really come? Is the fact he can control his wees to some extent an indication that we should just go for it. I’m scared of doing it too early but don’t want to miss the window. Thank you!
