My LO likes to announce when she pees and poops in her diapers...does this mean she is ready for the next step? Why am I dreading potty training so much?
she is 20 months old.

Perhaps, it is worth a try. DD (3 1/2yo) didn't do this when she was in diapers but now that she is potty trained (started at 2 1/2yo) she likes to announce when she has to go (usually while holding herself and in public).

I think this is one of the signs of readiness, but it doesn't necessarily indicate complete readiness (I think Mrs. Jacks did a nice blog post about this recently?). My DS is telling us when he poops (turns 2 tomorrow) but when I put him on the toilet he doesn't produce anything yet. But it's definitely a good sign! Girls tend to get trained faster. Get ready!!

My LO is also 20 months and does the same thing. She only gives me about a 5 second warning, so I don't think I could get to the potty in time even if I tried. I think the fact that they are aware they are about to poo/pee is definitely a step in the right direction!

Sounds like she's ready! Go for it! Potty trained toddlers are the best. No more stinky diapers!

I can't believe she is already 20 months old! Sounds like you might be looking into potty training soon!
