My DD1 is 29 months and is showing interest in potty training. She has been telling us when she has to poop or that she has pooped for a couple of months. She really wants to wear underwear. She is also very susceptible to bad diaper rashes and I think that potty training/wearing underwear (so long as it's dry!) will really help with that.
However, she is still all over the place. One of the readiness checklists that I read said "ability to sit quietly for 2-5 minutes". Umm, she cannot do that. She will sit and read a book or let me read her a book but she is very easily distracted. Does that mean she is not ready?
My motivation is that we are going on a Disney cruise at the beginning of March and she has to be fully potty trained to use the pool.
What methods worked for you? Did you read a book? Are pull ups evil? How should I set my expectations? We may wait until after we go home for Thanksgiving (don't want to deal with her peeing in the airplane bathroom!) but I want to be prepared.
Thanks in advance!
