    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!).

    Ah, made it to work without any accidents!!

    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 ?

    Hooray!!! (possibly TMI)

    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!)

    Oh well done Cass' DS2! What a clever boy.

    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!

    Hehehe. It's always a nervous trip in the car Janie! We haven't had any "accidents" so far but as soon as we get to where we are going I head straight to the nearest loo!

    i am currently training our little girl to, she is 20.5 months old,
    hubby made a step for our loo and she has loved sitting on it for months now,
    just the last few days now i let her wear no knickers or nappy at home and she comes to me when she needs to go, and i sit her on toilet and she goes,
    i am still putting a nappy on her at bed time but will prolly take that away in about a week or 2 cause she isnt waking up with a wet nappy its dry.

    she sometimes has no accidents during day, at most she has had 3 accidents they were at kindy though, (she goes to kindy 2 days a week) so i think thye just arent paying attention

    our first daughter who is now 8 was fully trained day and night by age 2. we never forced this on them, kids get it when they get it, we have also let them come to bathroom with us anytime dont shut doors and we never use a potty as i think that sometmes stops them using other ppls toilets or when your out a park

    even when i go out now i leave knickers on her and take her to the toilet at shops or park each time i go also, (she does need work holding a bit more cause somtimes she doesnt tell you anything just stands holding her legs closed saying mummy mummy, and if im not payng attention by talking to someone else she will start to pee,

    Well, Friday he came home in the same pair of pants that we sent him in. No accidents! Every wee was on the toilet. I thought we where there.... argh, big mistake!Saturday morning was nothing but wet pants and wet floors. Today we are having a better day with more in the toilet than on the floor or in his pants.

    Chocoholic - did you try jocks on your DS?

    Trish - my LO is also waking up around 230-3am each morning. This morning I put him onto the toilet and then DH put him back to bed. When he woke up (at a reasonable time) I put him back on the toilet.

    EmmaJane - I was talking DS2s CC carer on Friday and she said that often asking them if they want to go to the toilet or putting them on the toilet (and then getting off again) is enough to "trigger" a wee. She said it was really common for them to get off a toilet or potty and wee straight away. One other thing she said was to not get upset when they seem to go really well at childcare but nothing but accidents at home: they seem to "get it" quicker at childcare.

    Feeb - we are also fascinated with putting things in the toilet: it's his new best friend! I've found all manner of things in there. Creditcards (when he's been in my wallet), toy phones, puzzle pieces, blocks, toothbrush ... um, yes! we do was everything properly and some things just get thrown out!

    Bubno.3 & Fleur - I have no idea, but sounds like you might both be experiencing the same thing.

    It's a messy (and FRUSTRATING) process, but I think we are making progress!
