I want to but ds2 seems to be completely uninterested. Anytime I mention the toilet he says no flat out. I think he is scared of it so I'm going to buy a potty and see if I have more luck. New territory for me as ds1 trained straight on the toilet.
We have been in pull ups for a while and doing really well at nursery with dry pull ups 99% of the time. But she was completely disinterested at home, just relied on the pull ups. So we have gone into undies for the past 2 days and have had 1 accident each day and she is often telling me now when she needs a wee. Poos I have to watch for the tell tell signs and get her to the toilet. Tomorrow will be her first undies day at nursery so I have packed lots of changes of clothes!
Hello Cass! Good luck with your journey, and thanks for bringing it up, I'd love to share.
I don't know if you'd call it toilet training, but we've introduced the potty into the bedtime routine the last few weeks. It's working fantastically at the moment - we give DS a shower or bath, then before we dress him we ask him if he can sit on the potty and do a poo or wee, turn on the nightgarden and give him a bottle of milk. He always tended to poo in his nappy around this time anyway, but since we've had him going on the potty they are MASSIVE poos. If I had to change a nappy with poo that big in it I think I would faint. He likes the idea of weeing in the potty but he mustn't be able to sense when one is coming yet, because he'll sit on the potty readily and stand up after a short while and point and say "wee!", but there's nothing there. And when I let him go nappy free with the potty nearby he always ends up weeing on the floor.
I'm sure I need to take your approach of potty straight after waking up. Only trouble is I usually try to delay the inevitable when he wakes up at 5am in the morning by bringing him into bed with us.
We are kind of. Pie has been in knickers since early December - she just decided on her own to start using the toilet - but lately there have been a few accidents which surprises me because there were none for so long. And it's not like she didn't get there in time - the other night she just stood up on the couch & peed all over it - and then did it twice the next day, as well!
So, no idea what that's all about....
Monday at childcare he managed to get 3 wees in the toilet (and about 6 misses). Yesterday he did the same. His carer told me this morning that yesterday he was outside playing when he came tearing inside saying “toilet” but only made it as far as the door before he had his accident. She said we are progressing so it’s all good – boys just take longer!
This morning we had "success". A big wee when he got up (although his nappy was quite wet - obviously from during the night). He was skulking about looking like he needed to poo so DH took him (read dragged him) to the toilet. He had started to do a bit of a wee in his pants but did the rest plus a poo in the toilet. After that it was a half hour trip into work hoping that we would make it through security and into the childcare centre before he peed his pants and..... he sat on the big toilet and screwed up his face, did a fart then a bit of a wee and then said “book?!”. We didn’t have a book so he looked at my work diary (not very exciting!).
Yes TT here as well and I'm pretty much over it ... My ds 3 1/2 is practically trained except 5 mornings in a row he pulls his Willy out pees on the bed .... So both beds are stripped and have wee marks all over them ( he has a spare bed waiting for his little brother) . I so growled this morning as I know he is being plain defiant and apart from letting him sleep on a bare mattress I have no idea what to do.
If he really did have a fall in accident wouldn't the pull up be drenched as well as the sheet etc ? Well his pullup is dry WTF ?
Much success this morning. DS2 did the biggest poo in the toilet! I think he's been holding on - I had already commented to DH that I thought we should put him in a nappy so he didn't get constipated from holding on.
Anyway a big poo in the toilet - hooray for us!
We then dropped DH off to work and drove in to my work, parked the car in the basement, got through security, unlocked the office, said hello to the girls then I took him to the toilet and... he screwed up his little face and did a pee! He was so pleased with himself (so was mumma!)
We are doing well here also. DD is in her 5th day in big girl undies and did so very well yesterday - only 1 wees accident and that was because they were in the middle of coming in from outside (at nursery) so the teacher thinks she just didn't want to say that she needed to go. She is regularly telling me now that she needs to do wees and getting to the toilet in time. We have been driving to work the past 3 days and had no accidents in the car. Poos - I think she is holding it in a bit to be honest. She is normally a 1-2 times a day girl and she seems to be going some days without any and other days she is timing it when she has her night nappy on. One step at a time I guess!
