What wins - enthusiasm or success??
DS1 is 2.8. Been keen on the idea of potty training since the early summer - I think prompted by seeing others at nursery doing it. And also keen on idea of being a 'big boy' vs his 9 mo brother.
So we've been practising sitting on the potty etc, and he often (not always) was telling us when he had a wet or dirty nappy and wanted changing.
Then tried No Nappies since Saturday (so today was day 3). He's been v good at sitting on the potty - has been on and off loads. Sometimes because he says he thinks a wee is coming, sometimes because I've prompted him to try after a gap. However, have had only two wees in potty, both on first day. Today he held everything in from 7am (wet his nappy just after waking) until 3pm (large puddle on playroom carpet). Oh and we did get a poo half in the toilet later this afternoon - after no poo for 2.5 days I think it was pretty urgent . He's still OK about sitting on potty, and I've stayed calm and positive. He says he wants to try again tomorrow.
Is 3 days of zero success a sign that we should stop, or is enthusiasm a sign to carry on?
