Today is day 1 of toilet training!

We are sitting on the potty with chocolate milk and a biscuit as we speak. And we have a jar of lollies for once its happened LOL!

We've been meaning to do it for a few weeks, but things have just got in the way, so now its do or die LOL! Not really but I thought we should start it becuase he is slightly obsessed with it and has been taking nappies and alerting me to bodily functions for a while.

LOL - good luck! I need to take the plunge too. Tallon actually took some wipes and went to his room, removed his nappy & wiped his own bum the other day. Now.. if that isn't a sign he's ready, I dunno what is! LOL.

but I thought you were training ages ago? Didn't you post another thread?

Let us know how you go

I think I'm almost ready to train too (it's been me more than him putting it off LOL) so I've just gotta stick him in undies and do it. Pullups make me lazy

ETA: lol at you sitting at the computer while he's on the loo. Tallon actually tells me to go when he's on the loo.. doesn't want an audience!

I'm actually sitting next to him. He's sitting on the potty in the kitchen so he can watch the TV from here.

LOL. I'm thinking of getting a WeeMan thing for him to be able to go standing up LOL.

We're not going to do the potty, we're gonna go straight to the toilet.. I'm struggling with the idea of training him once.. let alone having to train again from potty to toilet hehe.

So umm... is he done yet? LMAO.

Good luck!! We're week 2 of tt.

Nup not yet he's now building train tracks with his pants off, I'm constantly watching for the pre-wee stiffy. I did straight to toilet with Paris and it worked perfectly but my gf did potty to toilet with her son and it worked perfectly so I'm not too worried.

Pre-wee stiffy?????????? OMG I have alot to learn about little boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck Cai!! Hope it all goes well!

Yeah, both work.. just me getting my head around the amount of work it feels like LOL.

You're a domestic goddess

if I stick him in undies, or let him run nudie, and he wees.. what's the best way to clean up? That's another thing that's putting me off.. wee on the carpet, wee on the furniture.... ugh.

I would use super absorbent towels (like terry cloth nappies). Then you can put orange spray or make up a solution with disinfectant and water and spray that on or blot it on, then use more towels to absorb it. I often find phonebooks work a treat at helping to absorb stains (putting them on top of the cloth). Then once you're all trained just get your carpets cleaned.

No wee's yet!
