I have a few questions about what to do next in regards to potty training.
Here is what my son (who turned two April 27th) is doing right now:
1. Will usually go potty when I put him on it (he now uses a toilet topper), both poo & pee.
2. Likes wearing undies, but doesn't mind diapers
3. Will tell me after he goes pee in undies (and gets upset about it sometimes too) and usually he'll tell me after he poos in his diaper (which is not very often)
4. He won't tell me before he needs to go pee/poo, and he rarely (read almost never) initiates having to go potty.
I strongly desire to completely train him this summer (when we will hopefully have a place of our own, also we have no washer/dryer right now, so having him go full undies until we move seems scary).
I've read books like Potty Training in One Day or things like that, but they all seem to start from the basis that your child is unfamiliar or resistant to the potty, which mine is not (he has been going potty since about 9 months old). I'm just not sure what the next step is.
BTW, my idea of him being trained is taking himself to the potty (mostly), not relying on me to remind him all the time or set him on it, knowing how to pull down pants, wipe, and wash hands with little assistance.
Help for a toddler that seems in the middle of it?
