She's toliet training herself!!
Hi!
Some of you know my Charlotte is very head strong and has a strong independency. We go on holiday in a couple of weeks so even though Charlotte has been showing signs of getting ready to start toilet training I have been putting it off until we return. However Charlotte has other idea's. She regularly takes her nappy off and it's dry and sits on the potty to do her business then tells me!! I am encouraging her but at the same time putting a nappy back on so that she has no objections about wearing one for a few more weeks. I know people say girls are usually dry earlier than boys but there will be around a year's difference between my two.

When you see Charlotte she looks older than what she is. She is taller than most of her peers and stocky too, she has shoulder length hair which also makes her look older, she is obviously developing quite quickly.
Zoe i dont think your being selfish atall,i was the same when taking riley shopping,altho he was getting better i still didnt want him worrying about wetting himself,his realy good now and no probs,we go everywhere without the nappy as his quite confident in asking for the toilet.
He still has a nappy at night tho.
Zoe i don't think you're being selfish at all, just practical.
Oh and thanks to you all for saying i'm not selfish. I just want to able to enjoy this holiday and not be worrying all the time.
I really did'nt want the hassles of looking for a toilet or accidents so we waited.
A few more weeks wont matter, in fact it will probably be better if you do wait till you come home as the change in routine might put her off.
But its great that she tells you when she needs to go. She's doing really well.
Well done Charl
I'd be exactly the same as you and not start actively potty training until after your holiday. If she continuse to wantto take her nappy off and sit on the potty, could you put her in pull ups instead until the times right?
Keep us posted!!
It will be lovely for you to have her toilet trained by the summer, as you can go out without worrying about taking enough nappies.

i dont blame you for keeping her in nappies a little longer, at least you know she'll be really ready when you do train completely.
hope it all goes well

Do i need to bring my porta potty with me??? When i subscribed to PP it was part of my welcome gift!!
Apparently in the USA its trendy to start toilet training your baby at 6 months! Maybe I should start with Bronwyn!!! OR NOT!!!!! Could you imagine??
