I tried about 6 weeks ago and had great success for the first day, then he suddenly decided he didn't like the potty and I caved 
. It means he can do it though so am determined to sort it this week. Let's face it it's not going to get any easier for me is it

DS (3 in Sep) took it upon himself to remove nappy 2 weekends ago, and we've done grand! 1-2 minor accidents (drips), and for first 2 days poo'd in pants but niw he's giving us plenty of warnings. He's moved to toilet as more comfortable than potty, and he sees that as being like Mummy and Daddy 
, we've even managed 3-4 reasonable length car journeys. Spain in 2 weeks may be a test but have bought a travel potty so as to not get caught short!

DS is also 3 in september. started asking to use the potty in january, then refused to have anything to do with it ~march -june (when DD was born) and has started asking about it again recently.
we have just found that a chocolate button is not enough bribery, but a mini reeces peanut butter cup is, so maybe we'll get him trained before finishing the bag of them my friend brought back from the USA for us!!
I'm not sure what counts as success though - 2 wettings in a day is good or bad? he says he needs the potty, but then doesn't produce anything once there.
poos - he has always been erratic with them, can go 2-3 days between, so none have fallen on training days yet. should be today.
he has stopped drinking as much since potty training started 
so we are offering him a drink every hour or so - he's mainly refusing.
I think he's ready, but is so bloody minded and also thrown by DD's arrival that he is caught between wanting to move out of nappies and wanting to still be our baby. time will tell I guess?!

I wouldn't be in such a hurry but want it all sorted well before baby arrives. Good luck everyone

could have been worse here, he had 2 accidents (one very minor) and one pant wetting on purpose because 'it funny mummy' but several potty usages and lots of chocs for him, plus he drank a lot more today.
thankfully good weather meant he could pootle around the garden all day in just pants, and I got loads of washing done. fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Oh wish that sucks. Hopefully it'll pass off quickly..
I could use some advice. Ds is normally an at least 2 poos a day child and has spent all yesterday and this morning saying he needs a poo but nothing happening.
Poor child is holding his bum, then sitting on potty for aagggeeeeesssss but nothing happening. Think he just is frightened to let it out iyswim.. Any tips?
He is sat on potty eating raisins drinking a smoothie at the moment
