I potty trained DD about 3 weeks ago. She picked it up v quickly and has been brilliant.... BUT bedtimes are beginning to drive me potty (no pun intended!)
She's always been a bit of a procrastinator at bed time and while her older sister (they share a room) is generally out like a light about 15 mins after I say goodnight at 7pm, she'll run around and read books and hop in and out of bed fiddling around often for an hour or more, generally I just ignore it as she's happy and doesn't make a fuss. However, since potty training she sees it as a great new excuse to come out of her room and get attention, so often for up to an hour or more we have constant calls of 'Mummy, I need a poo poo', although sorely tempted to tell her to just go in her night time nappy, of course I go through all of the encouraging patient stuff and put her on the loo (although I try not to talk or interact too much). It used to be that she'd never do anything as she always did a poo after tea and a big wee before her bath, but the last week or so it's like she's been saving up her poo!!! So of course I have to be all happy and pleased with her (even if it IS nearly 8.30pm grrrrrrr!!!).
What can I do? She never used to poo at this time before potty training (it was always after breakfast or after tea) and I find it a bit of a pain encroaching into my evenings running up and down stairs to her. Any ideas? Or do I just have to be patient and she'll get over the novelty factor?? She's nearly 23 months if that's of any relevance.
