right

1. this is for any kid over hte age of 2
2. imo the best age ie 2 - 2.5
3. there is NO going bakc

do not start if oyu are going ot poof out

1. remmeber it is hard work - hence hte training - yes life will be more difficult for a couple of weeks
2. do NOT use pull ups for day time naps or anythin short of a 2 hour journey
3. night training is a wholey seperate issue

hmm think dh owudl do his nut

ok dont worry abotut thje accidents latz
keep going he will get it

latz if shew ownt sit eht n let her wee herslef

she ll soon o to the loo!

still no poo today , but shes wowing me by going to potty whenever she needs wee, which is half the battle eh.

Spose all I can do is talk to her about doing poos in potty /loo????? Although were not liking the loo now, even though Ive spent weeks finding her on there with her trainer seat.

Been cooking all day to do something to stave off boredom, havent cooked like this in months and months dd loved squishing salmon in her hands. Think Im getting to my nesting stage.

Thanks needed to be told :)

She'll probably last til bedtime now so will have to bribe and at least see if she does one on the loo then!

Have been looking back at the last potty training thread and discovered that I really started with DS around the beginning of February so he was 26 months or so.

It took him much longer to sort out pooing than weeing - I am glad I found out that is normal otherwise we would probably have stopped. He does need reminding sometimes but generally will say "I need the potty" or start undressing when he does need to go.

And there was a lovely big poo done in the potty a few minutes ago - SO much nicer than in nappy or pants .

SO what I am saying is don't be discouraged if things aren't going well at first; give it a week or so and it gets much better .

And it is so nice only having one in nappies now (and she is 6 months so can stay in them for a while )

PMSL - ds just got really upset as was touching his willy and it grew which freaked him out. Started crying saying he didn't want his willy getting bigger

bless :o

All wees in loo - one poo half in pants and half in loo lol

I am also doing loads of cooking to stave off boredom

3 wees & 1 poo on floor, 1 in potty. Is this terrible or fairly normal for day 1 ?

don't panic kitty pickle!!!!

my worry is that on day 2 we're putitng her on frequently, and she is sitting for ages! is that ok or should we be cutitng it short, ie no wee, get off? right now she is with dh in living rpoom watching some tv on potty... how bad?

but so far 4 hits, 1 miss, no poos at all since started training. and still taking her rather than her asking.

that's me for now, over and out (til i next wander past)

No poos but am on to 8th pair of pants. i count 5 wees in the potty and a lot of full-on tries.
dh home in a minute thank god.
i need a stiff drink.

fairly normal kitty - ds1 went through loads more pants on day 1 than ds2 is - he just seems to have clicked quite quickly, but this is my second attempt - tried 4 months ago and abandoned it because we weren't getting anywhere.

Ds1 got the hang of things by day 3 IIRC and we had cracked it within a week.

Keep going!

we think dd just asked to go on potty (and did a small wee), but we're not sure if she knew she needed to go or if she wanted to get away from dinner table!!!!

hoping it is the former

Day 2

Nothing not a sausage where it should be just wees and poos in pants and after sitting on loo just now has just weed in bath.

AAAAAARGH :(

Still I won't give in, she knows exactly what she's doing.

Day 4 - 4 wees on potty (2 started in pants but got there before too much damage done), 1 wee in pants/on carpet, 1 poo in pants.

Much better than yesterday so for those who feel like giving up, as COD says, DON'T!!!

After 3 hits and 8 misses (1 was poo) yesterday I felt like it just wasn't going to happen but look at the difference. Obviously would have preferred no misses but still, happier than yesterday :)

Day 2 at casa Passionflower

wee in pants 2
wee in potty 1
poo in potty 1

Definitely think she is getting the hang of it quicker this time. We all keep chanting "where do you wee - in the potty! Where do you poo - in the potty!"

However we are going to uber posh health club tomorrow morning for DD's 1 & 2 to try tennis and I am wavering about pants for the expedition.

Coddy, can I compromise and put nappy over pants so she still gets the wet feeling without the mess?

kitty totally normal

passion me too " ehre do we do wees? on the ( frigging) loo"

right, final tally: one accident involving pee and poo in pants.

one pulling down own pants and peeing in potty while i was cooking

rest in loo or potty at my instigation.

do you think it's worth letting him decide when tomorrow cod? i feel like if i keep hassling him he won't get that he has to tell me when he needs to go.

Day 3
1 accident at nursery, all other wees in toilet and potty. No poo.
I can't believe how well its going. Since we've been back shes been using the potty without me asking

am expecting it to be much much worse tomorrow btw.

me too sophable1!!! kepe thinking it's gonna be awful.

i knew it wasn't going to be magic but i am so frigigng impatient, and getting so grumpy.

I was wondering about whther to tell her to go when wants, but think she not ready... hopefully by end of week 1??

COD - what have we meant to have achieved when we get to the end of week one???>

Day 5... one wee accident (because she doesn't like the downstairs potty and insisted I fetch the upstairs one...by which time...oops!) and one poo accident which she came and told me about in a conversational kinda way.

I think the poo thing is going to be harder to crack than the weeing, which is good now. At least it's only once a day.
