goddess... what I did was got those terry training pants from Big W.. and he just wore those when he was around 2... and if he wee'd on the floor, he did and I cleaned it up... but that was a good start cos they get to really associate the whole feeling of needing to wee with the wee actually happening. Elijah knows when he wee's cos I holds himself and if you ask him if he did a wee, he laughs lol. Just not ready to let go of his nappy yet... once it is warmer though, I'll pop him in the terry undies and let him run around out the back. I do think that in general, boys do take longer ... or should I say, that they are later. Having said that though, my first was completely TT day and night by the time he was 2.
