Proud mummy moment - my language-delayed DS2 has been dry since April and has only had one poo in his pants in the last fortnight. He wees in the toilet and poos in his potty.
who knew that the potty HAD to be pillar-box red? and the poo thing would only work once he got enough language to really understand sweetie-bribery?
So, our ongoing toilet-related problems are:
- he's scared of new toilets, especially those with handdriers - thankfully he will use nursery's toilets. Almost as bad, he's fascinated by toilets in other people's houses and has been known to start playdates saying "come on Jack, let's flush the toilet!". Toilets are a source of desire, fear, feelings of inadequacy then triumph, etc etc!!!!
- he wees standing up and is clearly scared of sitting on the toilet - guess I need one of those seats with a built-in little seat - I had a freestanding little seat but it's too wobbly. Can you unfit your own loo seat and fit these yourself or is it quite tricky? (DH and I are a bit useless).
- Now that we don't need so many nappies, I keep running out of nighttime nappies. guess I need a new brain for that one as I couldn't care less about nighttime till he's 5 or so.
- He weed on the school field when leaving school nursery in front of all the dinner ladies!!!!! He thought he was being so good too.....
