Potty training......you would think this would be a doodle third time round, but it's not!

trying to potty train ds3 this weekend. He turns three in a few days, is very verbal, tells us every time he is going to do a poo and every tie he has done a wee. We tried a few months ago with doing poos on that toilet and it was disastrous and led to him being constipated. So this weekend we got the potty out and just encuraged him to sit on it and do a wee.

Yesterday did not work. Very reluctant to have his nappy off and weed on the floor. Today has been better despite a bad start with him screaming and crying for his nappy. He has got the hang of it now and is sitting on the potty and weeing. The problem is that he is weeing a few drops every couple of minutes. So he is on and off the potty like a yoyo! And not all drops get in the tty as they are so often. I can't remember if the other two boys did this too or not!

So, when does it go from an entire day spent attached to the potty with weeing continually, to doing bigger wees?
