Having pooed where he liked for 4 weeks of potty training, he has just done a lovely big poo....where?....in the potty?....no, better than that.......in the loo!
I have to admit he didn't do it by himself but it is still a start. I realised he had gone quiet and went into where he was playing to see him standing still in a corner - a bit of an indication that something was not right - so I asked him if he wanted to do a poo and he said yes. I put him on the loo, thought he might not stay long if he wasn't distracted so went to get a book to read to him, and on my return, lo and behold, the child had performed beautifully!
Hallelujah!
Please feel free to add your congratulations!
