Hi lovely BBers. Well we are in here for real now. Bit the bullet and decided to start TTing DD1. She is 3 in Feb and will start 3 year old kinder then. Also have discovered having two in cloth is not so fun especially as DD1 is a heavy wetter AND 2-3 a day soiler.

She has been great with wees, all on the toilet but only if I tell her to sit on it. The first two days she would run to the potty if she needed to go, sometime a tad too late but still with wee in the bladder. If I kept an eye on the time and her liquid intake and reminded her she was perfect.

Today, thought I'd see how she went only with reminders and asking IF she needed to go (no actual 'now it's time to sit on the little toilet) and despite being so good in the first days today was a disaster. Wet pants simply because she was too involved in play or didn't want to use the toilet.

Poos meanwhile are a complete no-go. I suppose this is normal even if wees are relatively successful? She will be on off on off the toilet all morning and even spend up to 20 mins on it then within 5 minutes of getting off goes into a secret private place and soils her underpants. Man!!

ETA - she won't tell me if she has wet or dirtied her pants either.
