Lucky you MummaT - DD1 never told us anything! She could have been in a dirty or dripping wet nappy all day and not care.
Beans I've discovered I hate TT with a passion! Brings out my impatient side alas.
We have had a breakthrough though- DD went from poo in underpants and if no underpants then poo on the floor to four days of poo in the potty, but only when we sat her on it after breakfast, with her dummy, and a book, toys etc. After about half an hour of faffing about she would do it in the toilet. A big yay! Not putting herself there on toilet but at least not in her pants.
Yesterday had a family lunch at Grandma's, she faffed about at home as usual but no poo, then at Grandma's reverted back to underpants deal. She was good and told me she'd 'had an accident' though so I praised her for that.
Then this morning no poo on the toilet again but just before lunch she said 'uh oh I need the toilet!' Ran about a little madly, I popped her on, her pants were dry (yay!- previously she would say she needed toilet a smidgen too late) then two minutes later she said 'mummy I did a BIG and a little poo in the toilet!' Bless! All by herself!
LL yay for some progress thats great. You must be feeling a bit relieved its all starting to click into place.
So boxing day is our big start. DS1 is consistently telling me when he does wee in his nappy when he goes to bed. I think for us it will be a matter of keeping the potty out and the TV off. At least he will have all his new christmas presents to play with so that should be a little easier. Fingers crossed it's not too painful for me LOL
Need opinions ladies...
Our hot water service is dead until at least next Monday. Do you find you need to bath/shower them extra from "accidents"? Trying to decide if I should delay starting for those extra few days
Hmm, dd tells me she needs a shower after every accident. I on the other hand think she only needs a shower if it can't be cleaned up with a face washer or baby wipe
Well we have started and 3 hours in and not a single wee yet. He is liking the undies so hopefully when it comes to wee it will motivate him to use the potty
How did the day go MummaT?
We are hit and miss here, dd has had more accidents then I can count, however today only one accident. She has started telling me she needs to do wees as she runs down to the toilet. Number 2's are another story.
Yesterday was interesting, he did a wee about 1 minute after I posted, too late to get to the potty and ran off thinking he would be in trouble. 3 hours later I missed another wee as I had gone outside for a couple of minutes. I did get him as he was doing/finishing a poo a little bit later and grabbed him and put him on the potty. While he wasn't looking I grabbed some of the poo in his undies and when he got up off the potty I slipped the poo into the potty so he thought he had done it. Cheered and congratulated etc as if he had so he understood the potty was a good thing.
Today has been 50% in the potty so far which is success in my eyes.
At last, got 3 wees in the toilet today!! it may have involved chocolate encouragement for DS and two friends/sibling that were here, and talk of the need to wee in the toilet if he wants to go to kinder. but we finally got some. hoping it is smooth sailing from here.
After 4 days ot was very clear that DS can not tell when a wee or poo is coming. He seems surprised everytime and was getting upset thinking he would be in trouble when he had an accident. So we stopped. We are now getting him on the potty as soon as he wakes so we can try get the morning wee in the potty. Yesterday was successful but today he wee'd before i could get him on, he still thought he did great and congratulated himself haha.
We will keep doing this for a few weeks and hopefully he starts to recognise the feeling so we can try again. Daycare said that they will pop him on the toulet at wach nappy change to get him used to the idea too and when we say so will go into full on training mode.
Oh poor sweet DS MummaT. Your daycare carers sound really supportive of your needs and opinions too.
Hotl yay for your little one! Was like that with DD1 too.
We are doing great. Rarely any accidents but only as long as I encourage her - or directly ask her - to use the potty. If she is busy playing she will forget or perhaps just not bother. All poos on the toilet lately - again as long as I pop her on - except if we are out at someone else's house. Then it is back to poo in pants. I think because she doesn't get to sit on the potty with her toys for as long as it takes her to relax enough / will the poo to come out.
She also is not great at wiping or pulling her underpants up properly.
Who knows Peanutter! The other day DD1 (she turns 3 next month) excitedly informed me she had done a BIG yellow wee AND a BIG BIG poo (on the potty). When I looked there was wee but no poo, but a mountain of toilet paper and she said, very seriously, it's a toilet paper poo. And she expected a reward for it. When I explained it wasn't a real poo she just kept saying, yes it is, it is a real toilet paper poo!
have had awesome few days. all day wees in the toilet. one day, he got out a pull up and put it when he needed to poo. the other poos have been early morning ones when he still has nappy on from overnight. i'm not pushing too much atm, considering he is going so well with wees.
today, we were out and so i had put a pull up on him. this morning he told me "i no like pull ups!" He told me he needed to wee. I asked if he wanted to wee on the grass (i would pull over) or could he wait til we got to friend's place (10 mins away). He said "I wait". i wasn't actually convinced he could wait but he didn't want to go on the grass. Got to friend's place and he checked out toilet, but was still wary. few more minutes later, he was ready and did his first wee in non-home toilet. even better, the pull up was dry, so he had held on for quite awhile.
Its so true, it is so much easier to do it when they are ready! Plus, finding the right motivation. DS really wants to go to 3 yr old kinder, and the kids have to be toilet trained to go. Got 3 more weeks to work on poos.
