Started potty training DD (3 next month) on Saturday. Tbh, I think she's been ready for some time and it's been much easier than I anticipated (7 hits and only 2 misses on day 1). She seems to have weeing almost sussed with only the occasional accident but pooing is a different matter. Earlier in the week it seemed like she didn't know she needed to go until she was almost doing it. Today,on 2 separate occasions she kept saying she needed a wee and would then do nothing and refused to sit and wait (several times in as many minutes) and then did a poo in her pants within minutes. At nursery today they told me that it often takes longer to master being clean than dry but how much longer? (I'm guessing this is like asking how long is a peice of string but I'm just looking for some reassurance! )
We've basically stayed at home all week apart from 2 mornings at nursery and a short trip to the park today (poo accidents at both) but was hoping to start rejoining normal life next week, however wary of pooing accidents in public places. Going back to nappies is not really an option given her age and how well she's doing at staying dry.
