To train or not to train.
Here's the down and dirty. My daughter has a routine when she has to go, especially for number two.
At 21-months now, she goes and finds a hiding spot most often behind papi's recliner (she needs her privacy you know) and does her business. If mommy or papi encroach, she gives a vociferous bye, bye and wave. Of course, we give her her space and then change her diaper.
So my wife and I started talking about whether she's ready for potty training. Especially since she gives off strong signals when she has to go. She tells us she has poo-poo in her diaper and needs to be cleaned up. We figure she gets it.
So we wonder, when is it time to start potty training? I think now. My wife talks to others who say it's too soon.
