I talk to my daughter about the potty all day. I ask her at regular times if she wants to go use the potty. She uses it as a game with me. When she wants more of my attention, she’ll tell me she has to go potty, but when she sits down, she never goes. My husband is home for 1 hour (sometimes 2) of her waking time in the evening, and almost every night, she goes potty for him. I have a feeling, if this girl is going to be potty trained, her father is going to need to be home more, because she just won’t go for me.
I am so proud of her, either way. Tonight, he was getting her ready for bed, and she asked to go potty, and tinkled on the potty! She is such a big girl, for not even being 2 years old yet!
Here’s my dilemma. I don’t want to move her to a big girl bed yet. I want her to stay in the crib. But, if she gets potty trained and starts to want to get up and go potty. Well, how do you deal with that when they’re still in the crib? What do I do? If we move her to a bed, she’ll be in our room every night, and I’m not ready to deal with that yet. So, do we just keep her in diapers at night until I’m ready for her to move to the big bed? Am I holding her back by doing that?
Please comment if you have any advice for me. Although, she may take months to potty train. I’m just being very optimistic because she amazes me at every step. Why not with potty training as well?
