It’s no mystery what Trey Davey’s doing; the mystery is when we should begin toilet training. Our doctors have told us the key to this stressful endeavor is to not attempt training until the child is ready. Signs of toilet training readiness usually appear between 18 months and 3 years of age. They include staying dry for at least 2 hours at a time, having regular bowel movements, being able to follow simple instructions, being uncomfortable with dirty diapers and wanting them changed, asking to use the potty chair, or asking to wear regular underwear. While we don’t expect to begin toilet training anytime soon, both boys have begun developing some of these developmental signs. What’s unusual about this photo is that Davey is doing his business in the open. He and his brother usually hide when they have to go.
