We recently decided that potty training had to happen. My son, Nicolae, is pretty smart but I admit he is behind in some areas. Well, he's turning 3 in just a few weeks and thought it was time to really try this again.
A bit of background: we started potty training when he was 19 months old. He liked the seat but it was a bit of a slow start. He'd go once a week when he was doing good, otherwise it'd be months between. Which is fine, he wasn't ready. My parents and other family members kept saying he was old enough, he was ready, he should be trained by 2.
Skip some time forward, his birthday has passed and now he has a new baby brother! The doctor said that he'd regress if he hasn't already. So far it seems that he's fine with the nightly routine that is sitting on the potty before bath time. Now he goes almost every single night.
To be honest, I never thought the boy was ready. It was my instinct I suppose but I was confused and tired. All I'd ever heard was that they should be trained by this age or that age.
Look for the signs and you'll know.
Tomorrow, we're starting.
