Ds was the same. He had easy access to the nappy packet and would go and grab a nappy when he needed to do one.. he had tried the toilet on and off and loved to sit there and wipe his bum, but never actually poo'd on there!! lol This went on for MONTHS!!! He was TT at night, during the day (being a boy though he did and still does alot of his wee's outside on a tree!!! lol) Any way, one day when he was nearly three... i ran out of nappies in the packet.. i still had the odd one in a nappy bag etc, but the packet ran out. he went to get one and realised there wasnt any there!!!!! So we set up his seat, he sat and nothing. So i left the special seat on the toilet and we kept playing.. about 5 minutes later he went racing down the hallway and all by himself he did apoo on the loo!!!! Lots of praise and congrats and hugs and he never did a poo in a nappy again!!! (DD was still in nappies, so i kept the packet in the cuboard where he couldnt reach just in case.. but he never asked for one again!!!
I think for DS it was a bit of independance thing.. he liked having his nappy on and he would go off and do his business.. while i was trying to TT i always stayed with him for support lol coz i was trying to be encouraging and seeing what he was doing.. but once he was able to just do it himself, it all clicked!!
