Yeah one of the things we realized is they will give you signals letting you know that they are ready to do something. The important part is recognizing those signals, we weren't great at recognizing them for a little bit lol.
Good luck on the potty training! We hunkered down for a weekend, got some treats of various kinds to reward him and made sure that we showed him how excited we were when he successfully did something like that. It wasn't too bad but he got scared pooping the first time. One thing we made sure to do is not let him have a diaper on when it could be prevented. We just talked to him, made sure he understood that when he needs to pee he needs to tell us, we said it but would also bring him to the bathroom every 45 minutes or so and he finally peed so that was one hurdle.
Hopefully when you undertake the potty training you'll share how it went!
That is a great point. Our kiddos are giving us signals. We have to make sure we are not so busy that we miss the signals.
Not sure if we will try to get through the holidays first, but we will definitely be thinking about potty training soon. I will try my best to get a good post written once we go through the process.
