Toilet training no. 2s

[gypsy79]

We have recently started toilet training our 2 1/2 year old DS. It started by accident - he wanted to sit on the toilet, and then I suggested he wear jocks and he thought it was a good idea. But, after the first afternoon (when we had no successes) it has been going really well so we have persevered. We're 3 weeks in now and hardly ever have a wee accident, and he has even dropped his night time nappy (again, by choice).

However, we're having no success with poos. He knows when he does it, as he often tells me after the fact, but he is happy to just go in his jocks. It's not that he's scared of the potty. If I catch him in time and sit him on the potty, he will poo in it, he just doesn't seem to think of this option himself.

We've tried sitting him on the potty in front of the TV if it's been a day or two without a poo, but no luck. A couple of days ago I put a big toy 'door' in front of the potty for him to play with, and that seems to have had a bit more success, but we still had an accident this morning.

Any suggestions? Thanks
