Hi all!
Ive just started potty training my lb properly yesterday. We’ve had a potty for a while and he’s always shown interest in it, had a few wees on it before and even a poo.
This teamed with a couple of other signs (and the fact I have a week off work) has made me start properly.
His first day was quite good, two wet accidents and one poo in the corner ( glad he told me about it otherwise that would have been a nice surprise later🙃 ) other than that he used the potty loads, told me ‘wee wee is coming’ and wanted to help pour his wee down the big toilet. I’ve been giving him stickers every time he’s gone.
Today however hasn’t been as successful, quite a few accidents, he even slipped over in one of them when he was trying to tell me he’d done it.
I put him in the bath after he covered himself in wee and he told me twice while he was in there that a wee was coming so I got him out both times and he had a wee on the potty so I do think he is ready.
If I put pants on him he will have an accident straight away (wanted to take him out in the garden for a bit as hate being stuck inside but as soon as I put something on him he has an accident and too cold to go out bare bottomed)
Still going to persevere but he’s meant to go to nursery Thursday, we walk there which is about a 25min walk. I’m just a bit nervous about getting there and although I know nursery will support however they can I’m worried that it may be abit much, would you send him?
Also we are supposed to be out for a family meal on Thursday night. Debating whether to just find a sitter or just bite the bullet and take him and hope for the best? Was considering maybe putting on pants with a pull up over it so he’s aware of an accident but take him to the toilet every 20mins or so?
Feeling slightly disheartened because I really don’t know what I am doing.. advice please? TIA x
