How to move DS from potty to toilet?

[Caitmous]

Potty trained my DS over the summer; he was 2.8. All surprisingly easy, no fuss or accidents. Just left potty around for him and got rid of nappies. Some fuss over big boy pants but generally very low key.

But over six months later he's showing no interest in using a toilet for either wees or poos. I've talked of doing big boy wees standing up like Daddy. But he refuses.

We have a stool and a seat over the loo so reaching isn't the issue.

He even said this morning that he wasn't a big boy as he wants to use his potty. Over everything else he's emphatic that he's a big boy!

As the first stage happened so organically I'm reluctant to insist upon the toilet or make a big deal of it.

But now he's 3.2 and I'm still carting a bloody travel potty around. (He's pfb so I've got now idea if this is standard).

TIA

DS2 was a bit like that.

We went on holiday, there wasn't a potty, and he just had to cope. It wasn't much of an issue there because it was all different and when we came home we just got rid of the potties before he could see them.

Ds was the same, I just got rid of the potty and he was fine!

Cheers username! Maybe a perfect excuse for a holiday...

Thanks Tory. Were you away? Or did you manage it at home?

Did you DSs go straight to standing wees? Or sitting on the seat?

Really not sure what I'm doing with all this!

DS did this, I just told him the potty fairy needed it back for the babies to use but she had left him a Thomas Train and if he did a wee in the toilet we'd go to the cafe for lunch.

Cheers Exit. Sorry to be nosy but a standing wee or a sitting one?

Is standing a stage after sitting? Or just get on with learning to stand?

DD really wanted a pink bag, so I told her when she was big enough to use the toilet she could have it. Never looked back

To get my son to sit on the toilet I painted his toe nails with sparkly nail varnish :-) it worked, he gets a new layer if he remembers to ask...

He went to standing very quickly, but Daddy is his idol and DS1 is only a year older, so standing was the Done Thing. And he fell in once, which made him very wary of sitting.

Ds just sits on the loo. Even with his step he's not tall enough to stand.

Re getting rid of the potty, we went to stay at my mums and when we returned home it had gone. Ds only mentioned it once or twice and I think 6 weeks later it's been forgotten about.

He does standing wees now if there's no poo as well. But that's a recent development.
