Yeah, i don't think it's TT if i'm still having to remind. I consider TT to be able to know they need to go, and can go, in the right place. I know they'll sometimes need help with wiping/clothes etc. but i reckon her saying "i need a wee" and then doing a wee is TT whereas me glancing at the clock and taking her off to the loo isn't. Just my opinion, i guess it's different for everyone.

I was TT at 11 months my mother told me, but when i quizzed my dad i was, in fact, put on the loo every hour-90 minutes from then until i was 2 and a half. If i did that with Smee she'd be "TT" as she's pretty reliable as to when she goes if her routine is regular. I've read so many places now that physiologically they don't get enough warning to be anything but be occasionally lucky until they're 20 months or so, and i'm not making any concerted efforts before then.

I just got a potty at the weekend. Just now she gets applause if she sits on it, and if she's having nappy-off time i ask "want to do a weewee in the potty?" and she'll sit but hasn't peed yet. I guess if she does i'll give big praise and if she doesn't - no worries.
