The doctor (who had been in the room with Leila for a whopping five minutes) said without hesitation, that Leila seemed ready.
Fine. You think she's ready, then you potty train her. What about me, don't I get an opinion? What if I'm not ready?
I kept my mouth shut and listened to the good doctor ramble on about potty training. Unfortunately for her, she failed to state one single reason why she thought Leila was ready for this next step. Nope, not one. Until...
Leila blew my cover and announced that she needed to poop.
To make matters worse, Leila pulled at the door handle indicating that she wanted to leave the room we were in. Of course the doctor assumed she wanted to use the bathroom, but I knew better than that! The truth was, Leila wanted some privacy. (And who wouldn't?!) There was no table to hide under, no chair to stand behind, no place that she could be alone to do her business.
Before the doctor said good-bye, I had her convinced that we'd be starting potty training within the next month.
Luckily for me, Leila's next well-baby appointment is not until she is THREE years old. That gives us plenty of time.

Anyone else NOT interested in potty training their toddler? If you've already mastered potty training, what were some clues that your child was ready?
