Decided to keep my own diary on this as I don't want to monopolise anyone else's thread but I do feel the need to off load somewhere!
Ds3 is 2.6 and on day 2/3 (depending on whether you count Sunday) of potty training.
Yesterday, he spent all day bare bottomed and in the garden and never once used the potty.
Today: I am not feeling too good - tired, headache, bit woozy at times - so not in the best mood for doing this, but I can't stop just because I don't feel up to it, can I?
Ds3 had a good sit on the potty at the start of today but did nothing.
Then wet one pair of pants.
I decided to rope in the help of three older siblings, but they just wound ds3 up and made him silly. He started hitting them. I lost my rag and slapped his leg (I know, that doesn't teach him not to hit, but this is the warts and all potty training diary - this is how it really is behind many people's closed doors). Ds3 promptly starting howling and then wet himself again but ds2, with great presence of mind, whipped ds3 onto the potty - just didn't take his pants off first! The result: another pair of wet pants but a tiny dribble of wee in potty too - the first time!
Felt obliged to give ds3 a choccie button as there was some wee in the potty. I have been promising choccie buttons for days now and I think if he finally gets the reward, even though the wee in the potty was really accidental, he might stsrt to get the idea. So, he got his button and I am now awaiting the next development.
I really feel too tired and lazy to do this though!
