Have been potty training ds (2yrs 6months)for 2 weeks now. He is now mostly dry day and night (2 accidents since monday - 1 in day and 1 at night). We are obviously very pleased, but it seems to have unearthed his inner dictator. For example at bedtime he will litually ask for potty 4 times in 20 min after lights out, each time squeezing out the tiniest wee or poo. This morning, rather than sit on the potty he insisted on going downstairs to the 'big loo', at full volume outside dd1+2 bedroom early in the morning. He was not amused when I took him back up after so I could get dressed. He knows that saying 'I done a poo' will mobilise the troops, but his tenses aren't quite there yet, and he confuses poo and wee.
He is now trying to extend his influence to which milk he has (he has no choice due to intollerance). I don't want to make him have accidents as he is still in the early stages and he still sometimes asks for nappy (he is the self-appointed baby - whenever he sees a baby he says it is him). He has been persuaded to give up milk and nappies over the past few months, but at the same time I don't want him to rule the roost.
