Is there going to be an Easter holidays potty-training support thread?

[frogs]

And if so, can I be in it? Dd2 is 2.3, I'm sure she's old enough, I just have to psych myself into doing it, and need someone to bully me.

DAY TWO IN THE POTTY-TRAINING HOUSE

Hardly surprising it all seemed such hard work yesterday - I woke up at 1.30 a.m. with raging mastitis and got no sleep for the rest of the night .

But I don't want to move backwards after a good start, so I've been slogging away keeping it up. No accidents so far, just a pair of damp knickers which I think was my fault for using a wipe rather than loo roll. And a malteser-size poo from her too (will I ever be able to eat a malteser again??).

She is napping now and I think I'll join her!

at not being able to eat maltesers anymore, i felt the same!

Well my update is that we had no more progress but to be fair, we were running about at a friends so he was very excited, not the best idea for day 1 training but hey, we didn't make a fuss at all the accidents and he didn't ask for a nappy at all which is a really big thing for ds as he always panicked before :)

Going to give him a bath in a mo and put a pull up on tonight, just hope he is happy to accept big boys pants again in the morning!

He's had 3 wet accidents this afternoon. One was on the sofa a couple of minutes after I'd asked him to sit on the potty for a bit. Not sure if this is normal or suggests he doesn't have bladder control??

Anyway, fingers crossed for the morning. Good luck to everyone else :)

eek, tomorrow is our last day of nappies (bar nights) and i am getting nervous!

anyone else deciding to use a "currency" for potty training? Dd rarely gets chocolate, and never from us, so we have decided that 1 choccie button for a wee and 2 for a poo might be a good incentive.

need to stock up on buttons!!!

Fishy imput puhlease :)

sounds like things are going great for you wessexgirl ! my plan had been to start properly this weekend but little one has come down with a really bad cold and a cough that is stopping her from sleeping so have decided to postpone. To be honest thinking about now delaying until she is 2, only 2 months away but after reading some comments from everyone dont know if she is ready. Have just ordered Gina Fords book, so think may read that and see who i find it and re-assees then.

What should I do now? Have started training ds (day three). Have had very mixed results, but mainly wees in pants. Yesterday he did poo in potty. Now he has developed diahorrea!!! Should I stop? (I couldn't bear to go through the last two days again!) I need him to be trained before the end of the Easter holidays. Help!!!

omg tomorrow is knickers day!!!!!!

shit!!!!! will she get it???????? argh!!!!

How old is ds, LJay? If he has a stomach upset I'd postpone for a day or two till it clears up - there's still a week and a half of Easter hols left (at least, round hereabouts). Best of luck.

Day 3 for us and no accidents at all - we even went for a walk along the seafront and she waited until we got home to do a wee. I'd taken a small potty but she said she doesn't like the little potty and wanted to wait till she could go on the big one! She's a star. I'm waiting for it all to go pear-shaped tomorrow...

He is nearly 3 - so quite late really. No other episodes since yesterday, so I really don't know what it was all about and I am hoping it won't continue. All is ok, except he hasn't once asked to sit on potty yet - oh well....

Hello. You all seem to be doing really well with the potty training . I was planning on starting on Thursday but am now not sure - need advice from you all. DD (2) has been having tummy ache on and off for a month, and says it hurts to poo. We are waiting for a hospital referal but that is just a precaution. Doc said to up fluids and fruit etc and that all kids go throught his and the phase normally passes. Given that she isn't pooing regularly (sorry, tmi!) should I leave the potty training for a few weeks??? I'm not sure what to do for the best.
