I've been preparing for potty training by taking DD's nappy and trousers off once she's home for the day, so from 4 pm or so. I put pants on her as did have one poo-on-carpet incident.
She has started to produce wees when I put her on the potty (as long as she needs to go) and when she does so, I let her empty the potty into the loo and flush it. However, yesterday she did a wee, we emptied the potty, rinsed it, wiped her bottom and flushed the loo. Then she said "[DD] do another wee", sat down and did one, we emptied, rinsed, wiped and flushed. "[DD] do another wee", same procedure. She managed seven small wees before it finally ran out 
.
An hour or so later, when DH came home, she shot straight to the bathroom, shouting "[DD] show Daddy how you can do a wee" (she hasn't quite sorted out pronouns yet). This time she managed three in a row.
I think this is probably a sign that it's time to go cold turkey and leave the nappies off, but is there something I can do to encourage DD to do one big wee instead of seven small ones? Apart from anything else, flushing the loo so many times is a phenomenal waste of water.
