My daughter will be 2 on March 8th. She has been taking off her diaper and brining me a new one when needed for about 3 months now. She is able to say poop and pee pee and will sometimes go on the pot. She is able to wipe herself, but still i dont know if she is completely ready.
i am considering taking a few days off work to try to potty train her. do you think she is ready? and if so...any tips. I have 2 boys (4 and 5 years) but my husband potty trained them mostly by himself.

She is definitely ready. Try to take a Friday & Monday off to have 4 constant days of showing her what to do.

I'd say she's ready but the only way to really know is to try. I potty trained my daughter by staying home for 3 days and letting her go with no diaper. After peeing on herself once she started going on the potty and I would give her a treat afterwards. She did pretty good with that but I still had to use pull ups at night and in the car when we went some where for a little while after.

It sounds as if she is completely ready! I'd tell her you're very proud that she's a big girl now, and you're going to take her to the store to buy her some big girl underpants. Do it on your day off. Then put them (and only them-no pants) on her, and just spend the day watching her. Have a training potty handy. Sometimes, having any kind of pants on at all will keep them peeing in their pants, so if she keeps soiling the underpants, try having her just go naked for the day. (Yes, you'll have some accidents, just have some floor & carpet cleaner handy.) Kids hate the feeling of pee running down their legs, so that will probably inspire her to use the potty. It's going to be a long couple of days, but it'll be great once your done. Good luck!

I would say it's time since she can do all that...I have 2 boys that i potty trained...I would take them in there and let them sit for a few Min's when they went i would clap and dance just make a big deal out of them using the big boy potty!!

Sounds ready to me. Every time she goes on the potty give her a sticker to put on a chart. Once she has so many stickers give her a treat of some sort. (new book, cheap toy, favorite snack)

Yes she is ready. Just make sure you take her at least every 30 minutes to an hour to make sure she knows what you are trying to do. And praise her when she gets it right.

She is letting you know she is ready.
You should wipe her tho, she is too little to do it properly.
It normally takes weeks not a couple of days off work to get this sussed, lots of praise and ask if she wants a wee a fair bit, they tend to get stuck into playing something and forget.
