DD's been in knickers since she got up, made it through breakfast and a play outside no wees.. came inside and was in the laundry i didn't realise and shut the door so her sister couldn't get in, heard some crying and she was 'stuck' and had wet herselfshe can normally open the door but i think she was too busy trying not to wee.. poor girl.
Going to ask her to sit on the potty maybe every hour or so JIC and see how she goes.. she still wants knickers and NO NAPPY MUM... so see how we go.

Sounds like she is doing great ZF!
I am really perplexed what to do with Boo. At day care she NEVER has accidents. As far as they are concerned she is TT'ed. But at home it is a totally different story! I just don't understand it. I was talking to them today, all they do is take her to the toilet every 2 hours when they are doing regular nappy changes. And she has not had one accident in a couple of weeks. I don't know what I am doing wrong here, I take her every 90 mins/2 hours, but she always says "don't want it" and 80% of the time doesn't do anything on the toilet anyway. I don't know if I should be trying to push it as she is clearly capable or if I should just roll with it and wait for her to tell me she is ready to use the toilet at home.

WE GOT WEES ON THE POTTY/TOILET.
We had 2 very small accidents this morning and she was quite upset but then was running around with no knickers on and going into the bathroom sitting on the potty (one with a step up to the toilet) and just being silly, i folded it up to clean the bathroom and she came and asked me to put it back.. i did and she was stuffing around so i left her there.. next thing she's yelling MUMMY ME DID WEES... MUMMY ME DID WEES....
I checked and yep she had (tell tale dribbles) i'm so happy for her, she was NOT interested in having a nappy on for bed.. nearly had to hold her down to get it on.
thepixie: do they use a different kind of potty or seat or do they just have one of those small toilets?
It could def be that her peers are going so she does too, could you possibly have a potty beside the toilet and you can 'go' together???
It's weird how these kids minds work... hmm if only we had that instruction manual

They have the kids toilets ZF. We have a potty and she was using it fine until a few weeks ago when she just.stopped. She can also sit on the big toilet, but I need to help her because although we have a step stool and a seat cover, it is all a bit precarious and I don't see how she could get up there by herself. That's why it was great when she was just using the potty. I just don't understand why she stopped
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!
Hey girls how do you get your kids to wear knickers?
DD refuses to wear knickers even though i went shopping with her to choose the Dora ones.
She only wants to wear nappies and pants as well! ie she doesnt want to expose her legs and she wont run around naked either!
Registered User
If DD is asking to wear pants i put them on over her knickers... i mean if she wees i have to wash her knickers anyway so whats another pair of pants
Can you put the knickers on over her nappy for a bit and then one day JUST do knickers?

Good idea
Ill give that a try
at the moment im trying her in some bumgenius without the boosters lol

I have never had a problem getting her to wear knickers M2OSB so can't help on that one.
So now I am really confused. Ten minutes ago she did a wee on the floor not two feet away from the potty. I cleaned it up and walked away because it was driving me batty.
I just went back out to find she had done a poo in the potty!!!
I'm so confused!

Hey ladies
So nice to hear other mums in a similar boat to us! My DD (22mths) has been having loads of nappy off time ATM due to a nasty nappy rash, so I've been asking her every half an hour or so "Do you need to do wee?" and its only been the last week or so that she's starting to comprehend and say "Wees toytoy mummy". She doesn't like to use the potty, I think because it initially hurt her poor sore bum when she sat on it. Fine by me, I find the warm urine-y potty kinda nauseating anyway!
She's had a lot of nappy off time, but no undies. Today we took her nappy off first thing, went down to IL's house, didn't want to put a nappy on her for a 2 minute car ride so I got out her Dora undies - she was so excited by them! So put them on her... she went and did wees twice at the IL's house but then as soon as we came home, accident - wee on the floor, through her undies and pants. Ah well. Stripped her off, cleaned it up, fed some lunch to DS, came out and she's dancing round in poo
Cleaned her up, started cleaning the mess up, DH arrives home with the (new) apprentice. How embarrassment!
Does it take a bit longer for them to understand about poo??? She hasn't done poo in the loo yet...
Registered User
I've been told it does, niece wouldn't do a poo unless she had a nappy on, it took ages for them to get her to do poos on the potty.
Sounds like your DD is going well hun... well aside from the accident today.. ahhh yes sooo not looking forward to those messes.

Hey folks how has everyone been going? We have had an odd couple of days - one step forward one step back, one step sideways kind of thing!
So yesterday she had three accidents at day care.... After not having a single one for over two weeks. BUT when she got home, she started using the potty again - independently like she used to. So that was a win.
And today - no accidents at day care, and this afternoon she has been using the potty - two wees and a poo and we have only been home for an hour! And all independently motivated (except when we first got home I sat her on it).
So I'm hoping that she is just putting all the skills together in her headand that we might actually be making progress!
How is everyone else doing?

ok so haven't had time to read all of this thread yet *embarassed* but if I don't post I never will. Just like if I never start TT I never will. DS will be 3 in March and we (I) am getting all sorts of comments and pressure that I 'should' be TT now or he should be TT by now *sigh*.
CC have been good and it seems that most of the kids his age at CC aren't TT yet or are only just starting so that is good (he was going 1 day a week and goes 2 days a week next year). My mission before he goes back is to establish that we are TT seriously but like Pixie we rarely get a chance to stay home for 3 days in a row... we have had a few afternoons of undies only and had a wee and poo in the toilet so that is progress but that's it.
I don't know what it is about TT but it has always frightened me... I just don't wanna... but know I have to. Everything else has been fine and I can deal with it but arghhh I love nappies... rant over now
Registered User
I totally sympathise kelebek! I was finding it mega stressful at first, but I have relaxed a bit now and accepted that it is a process that will take some time. And I use pull-ups when we go outI don't know what it is about TT but it has always frightened me... I just don't wanna... but know I have to. Everything else has been fine and I can deal with it but arghhh I love nappies... rant over now(even though everyone says never go back to nappies) so I don't have to stress about accidents out and about. Nappies are like a security blanket for us parents - and so hard to give up!

Hello fellow TT-ers!!!!!
DS (29 months old) is apparently a nudist!!! He has been running around naked at home and wee-ing completely independantly for a few weeks... however, not on the toilet, he just goes outside!!!
We have a potty thing and a cool seat that sits on the toilet with a step and handles, and he started at first on the potty- but wouldnt sit on it- he would stand up and try and wee into it... so i got sick of cleaning that up quickly and encouraged the outside bit, which i will say has worked really well in the sense of he is really getting to know "when" he has to go and will take himself out there AND his aim is getting better!!! lol He also knows when he has to poo- but will ask for a nappy, he has done ONE on the toilet once- and i dont think there was anythign traumatic about that experience, lol but he wont poo on there now. He will ask to sit on there every now and then and shows me an empty toilet and says "look shane poo's" even though there is nothing there lol!!!!
We started with the sticker reward, we have a chart and he gets to put a sticker on there for wee's, for sleeping in his own bed all night, for brushing teeth and for eating lots of dinner- but i kind of am half arsed about it and forget unless he says "sticker time"
So all seems pretty good EXCEPT.... i can not get the boy to wear undies (or clothes for that matter unless we are going out... but that might be a different thread!!!) and i am not game to take him out in undies coz he hasnt tried them and doesnt realise they arnt a nappy IYKWIM, and i think also before we try the going out thing we need to progress from the outside toilet to the inside one!! We had a few weeks of rain on and off and instead of using the toilet he just didnt want me to take his nappy off.. so i think it will take some time!!! We have the nappy pants which i started calling nappy undies and now he wont put them on either!!
He goes to CC one day a week- but is on three week break so i thought i would use this time to try and get him going on the toilet some more and maybe attempt a walk to the park or something in undies and see how we go!
Oh also he is great at sleeping without a nappy for his day sleeps- he never wee's in his sleep and he is straight outside when he wakes up- but i havent tried all night yet.
DD is cracking it so i better go- but i will be keeping up with this thread!!!!

Hi ladies, well I;ve been thinking about taking the plunge with TTing DD. She got some undies for Chrissy and is keen to try them...me not so keen!! Will read the thread and hopefully find out where to start!! I really have no idea!!!!
Registered User
Well we have some of the two steps forward one step back thing happening... he still prefers naked-ness... lol but last week he would constantly say "i need to do poo's" run to the toilet and nothing, this happened like ten times a day for about three days (on all days he eventually did a poo at night once his nappy was on)- but that phase seems to have stopped now.
Yesterday i managed to get him to WEAR UNDIES!!!!!! And shorts... and he proceeded to wet his pants twice- so after two changes i gave up and let him be his free naked self.. then later in the afternoon when DH came home he wanted to go outside with Daddy and play in the ute, so we said he had to put clothes on- so he put shorts on with no nappy and no undies and with some asking evry few minutes he remembered to pull his shorts down and wee!!! (still outside lol) I think i can kind of see where he delema is, as when he is nearly finished wee-ing and the stream isnt so full on it dribbles onto his pants- which is why i am guessing the few times in the past where he has been good and remebered to pull down undies or shorts, he usually takes them right off and ditches them and wont put anything back on...
But we are getting there slowly.. today is a bit on the cooler side so i told him he had to wear clothes and he could either wear undies under his clothes or a nappy- we settled on a nappy- but then he wouldnt put clothes on!!!
How is everyone else going????

SB we are going pretty well. DD wears knickers to day care and usually doesn't have any accidents but if she is wearing knickers at home she will just sit down on the potty and wee straight through themso at home we just let her run around half naked. Going out we use pull-ups (mainly for my sanity) and take her to the toilet at the usual interval (90 mins to 2 hours) - that's the part that is still pretty hit and miss but we are having more and more success lately so that's positive. Starting to think we might actually get there one day! We do still have bunny in the headlights days when she seems to completely forget everything but they are not too common.
