Fingers crossed for you Krystie - I didn't follow the 3 day thing strictly - I always try and put myself in child's shoes and use that to decide what to do, and I figured that I would hate being watched every moment and would make me a nervous wreck and I would get irritated at being told to keep undies dry or did I need to go etc - so I didn't go with that aspect. We had success in 3 days but then some regression but always a steady improvement and CJ doesn't actually wee very often maybe only 6 times a day so wasn't too much of a clean up issue (she never had accident on carpet either only in living room which has hard floor which helped). I also couldn't do the whole stay at home thing and figured DD was smart enough to know difference and she was. So first we were successful at home (maybe in a week), then she had a phobia about using toilet outside home (so we used pull ups when out) which probably took more like 3 weeks to get over (but she stayed ok at home), and we have only recently tried the overnight thing and she is fine overnight too now, and has only recently consented to not wearing pull ups at daycare (so she went several months being fine at home but insisting on pull ups at daycare) - think this was because no one else was Toilet Training in her room (she is one of oldest in her room) but now they are and now she is fine at daycare too. I don't always wait for her to ask, because as an adult I don't always wait till I need to go, I always go before bed and before going out so she knows we always try in these situations too she says "We always go to the toilet before we go out" - very cute :-). If she goes, she goes and if not is no worry but normally she will go in both these situations.
The worst time is definitely before they have had many successes on the toilet/potty - even if he only gets number 2's not having to clean up a poo bum is cool if you ask me. I would just play it by ear and follow his lead if you want to stop and try again I don't think you necessarily need to wait the length of time the three day thing says. I think the more pregnant you are the harder it can be (a friend from MG whose DD is same age as Kyson and is due beginning of March is having a tough time with her DD despite her almost being TT'd - she now just wants to be a baby so says "no mummy I want to be a baby and wear a nappy". We started it when I was about 36 weeks or so but my mum was here and also as CJ was younger she so much wanted to be a 'big girl' whereas friends DD is like she knows she is a 'big girl' now and being a baby is more important.
Anyway sending dry floors and undies vibes from here.
