big thumbs up to the staff in Clarks shoe shop, aylesbury. in the middle of getting ds X2 fitted for school shoes, 2yo dd asked for the potty. we'd only been at the training 3 days so it had to be done. i whipped out the full size potty (she hates the portable) and she did her stuff. despite glares i calmly wiped her bottom and wrapped the whole lot in kitchen roll and polly bag, used hand gel, gave her a huge hug and went back to the shoe fitting. the assistant didn't bat an eyelid, and dd sat proudly smiling at her achievement. i have seen lots of kids being held up at kerb sides, standing in bushes and what have you, when they've just had to go. as long as you are prepared and can do it hygenically, there's nothing wrong with potty training on the go-even if it is in tesco, asda, so don't jeapordise your cherub's confidence by worrying what other people think!
