Nathan's been ready to potty train for a while now! We "started" when he was about 18 months. Bought a potty and started introducing him to it but didn't expect much. He actually went a few times but we never pushed it!! A month or 2 before he turned 2 we really started to notice he was ready. There was one day he had a bad bad diaper rash poor baby so we let him run around without a diaper to air out and told him over and over if he needed to potty to tell us. Well after a few minutes he got off the couch and looked down at himself and started to look around. We asked him if he had to go and he said yes! We ran him to the potty and sure enough he went! From then on EVERY TIME he didn't have a diaper on he would tell us he needed to go. We were in shock! Even still we didn't hurry up and potty train. (Clearly it was me being lazy about it) SO finally a few weeks after his 2nd birthday we decided to just go for it! It was SO easy!! I keep thinking its a fluke but here we are 2 weeks or so in and he's been 100% potty trained basically this whole time! He has had only 3 accidents and 2 of them were really just a tiny bit. He did have a rougher time with the poop training. Went a couple of days holding it and still has a lot of "false alarm" bathroom trips (I think he is waiting until it literally just a "falls out" haha) We are also still keeping him in pull ups at nap time and nighttime with underwear on top just in case. Although he always stays dry through nap and if he needs to go during nap or at night he wakes us up to take him! We are SO proud of him since he literally potty trained himself!! All we had to do was rind him here and there and he picked it right up! Big boy!!!!
The first time sitting on the potty in public!
First day potty training!
