A lot bit of background first!
DS is 3 weeks short of his third birthday. He's due to move rooms at nursery (making access to changing room more awkward for staff, although they are happy to change him, but it's spured us on iyswim) so we've been chatting about potty training and big boy pants, despite him not showing any signs that others on MNet have mentioned.
I was planning to start trying him in pants over the weekend as I don't work on a Friday, so we'd have three days before taking him to nursery. BUT... he decided this morning he wanted to wear big boy pants. In fact he stropped about it. So as I've got a day off, I decided to try it after a big discussion about accidents and it wasn't a big deal as he was learning.
Well, he's dry so far - apart from when I had to go out for about an hour, so put him in a pull up; he then pee-d in this as he "don't know" he needs when he's wearing it. He yells "wee wee" and runs off to use the toilet, and he even took himself off to poo!
So my questions:
- Has he spontaneously trained himself?!
- Should I put him back to nappies for nursery tomorrow/Thursday - or just send in loads of spare clothes?
- How often should he be peeing? At the moment I seem to get about two or three pees in quick succession over a 10 minute period - almost like he's not totally emptying his bladder? And then nothing for about an hour or so - is this normal?
- Nighttime; I know he won't be dry, so would nappies or pull ups be better?
TIA!
