We've been talking about knickers and using toilet/potty etc with my toddler who will be three in October. Today when I asked her if she wanted to wear knickers not nappy she said knickers (she's never said this before). So I put her in knickers. (She knows what Potty's for and goes on it happily just not all throughout day and not when she needs to). Not long after she weed and pooed in her knickers while watching tele and told me after. Bit later I said if she goes in potty she can have a chocolate thismotivated her and she went straight away. Bit later she'd weed a bit in her costume. We took it off and she went for a wee in her potty. Later when we were out in pushchair I asked her if she needed a wee and she managed to go at side of road in potty which was really good. Then later in pushchair she's weed herself again. Got home watched tele and she poooed knickers again so bad I threw them out and she only told me after. I asked her if she wanted to wear knickers or nappy then she said nappy so I've put it back on her. Did i do the right thing? Is she not ready? Any thoughts?

That's great news.

I was worried about nursery too and sent loads of spare clothes but I was amazed to see that she was still in the same outfit! They said because they're always in the toilets/changing room with other children they just wander in and sit on the potty just because others are, she didn't even have to tell them she had to go. Hopefully it'll be the same at yours.

Yes I thought nursery was easier - they see others going to the toilet so it reminds them to go too.
