My Big Girl!!
Thanks! Emad will get it, but he does need to speak more. Gabi really talks a lot, even in sentences. She loves to sing, too. I think I started talking about the potty back in March, just talking at diaper changes and when she was in the bathroom with me. It is something you have to do a lot of talking about before they start going!
We did a couple of mornings in underwear in early July, she just wasn't fully ready. But anytime she wanted to sit, I let her. She also went a few times. It is just starting to click, thank goodness! My mom had all of her girls trained at 18 months and the boys at 2 and a half. So she has been after me to start. I also potty trained a lot of kids when I worked in daycare. When they are a bit older than Gabi, you can bribe them with stuff. I gave the boys M&Ms to go. That worked. Gabi doesn't care about "performing" to get things. She just does it. Which is good, I guess!
Seriously, though, wait until he is around 2 1/2. That is a good age for boys to start. But talk a lot about it for at least 3 months before you start him going. Good luck!!
