Hi Cailin. I wish there was a magic wand to help kids toilet train!
Anyway, our story goes.............
We tried training Aaron when he was around 2, but he just wasn't interested. They say boys take longer and boy has that proven right. Paige was born when Aaron was 2.5 and I wanted to only have 1 in nappies, but it didn't work out that way. We had accidents and he wouldn't even tell us when he had wet, so I gave up.
Not long after his birthday (3), we began again and have had no accidents for wees. He was ready himself.
Poos are another story........ he is only now just going to do poo in the toilet and he will be 4 in November - not from a lack of trying mind you.
I didn't use a potty, because I wanted him to know that it went straight in the toilet and I didn't really have anywhere for a potty to go - didn't like the idea of him sitting on a potty in the lounge room. But everyone has their own view on things.
I would just try and sit Paris on the toilet/potty (whichever you decide to use) around the time she does her poos. You never know, you might have success - books work a treat while they are sitting on the "Big" toilet.
If you want to know anything else, let me know. We just really watched Aaron and didn't push him when he wasn't ready. He was ready at 3 for wees and we haven't had 1 accident!
