Hi,
My DD has just turned 2 and decided she wanted to use the potty and toilet.
Things are going really well so far but we are strugggling with clothes.
If she has a bare bum she is fine and will lift her skirt to sit on the potty, however in pants, which she is so proud of, she has accidents and she gets a bit upset with herself ( she often just runs off and goes when she needs to without telling me, if she tells me she's going I'll obviously help her with her clothes) and also as she likes to go on the potty backwards she ends up sitting with the pants inside the potty round her legs and then wees straight throught them or she catches the potty as she gets off and empties it all over the floor. Also when out we seem to get in a tangle with pants, shoes/boots etc and obviously she doesn't have enough control to hold it for long so I don't want to cause her to have accidents because she has the wrong things on, often when out she will tell me at the last minute or as she's started to go so I need to be able to react quickly. I do ask her if she wants to go while out but she oftner goes for a while without going then will do 2 or 3 in 5 mins or so before being dry for a while again so I don't always ask at the right times
Sorry if I sound like a real idiot, I had a baby recently and then we moved house so although she has been very wee/poo aware for a while I wasn't intending even thinking about trying to train her until everything had settled back down into a familiar routine so she's rather caught me on the hop with her decision
