hey everyone
havnt been on in soooo long!!
things are going well here, W is now 5.6kgs and doing really well, above average for his weight and looking nice and healthy! cant believe how fast hes growing!
Ashas doing really well with the toilet training shes not having many accidents at home anymore and will go to the toilet with me when shes out she just wont go for others ie my mum or her daycare so i keep her in pull ups at those times and ask them to ask her if she wants to go but not to push if she says no.. coz i sent her to daycare in undies a few times and she ended up crying when they put her on the toilet, dont think shes emotionally ready to do it with other people yet which is fine too just trying to stay rather relaxed about it..
so this is what weve been doing.. undies, to start off with its a good idea to get training undies, they catch more of the mess but they feel just as wet as they would in regular undies, u can get them from big w in packs of 3 for about $7 and they come in different sizes, theyre around the other tt stuff in the store not with the regular undies.. asha probably has about 10 pairs, when they start u need lots of pairs coz there will be lots of accidents.. we started by putting asha on the potty every half hour or so as long as she was willing and just praising her for sitting there, everytime she had an accident we would get her to go and sit on the potty and let her know thats where wee or poo went.. it didnt take too long for her to catch on and she started to go to the potty when she needed to go, there were lots of accidents right next to it or shed stand up in the middle of going lol.. anytime she went and did something in the potty there was a huge deal made about it.. heaps of prasie. i also drew up a star chart my first one was 7 clouds, then flowers, then butterflies with the names of the days on them and any time she went she would get a small chocolate as well as get to put a star on the chart, we are still doing this now.. whenever i get her to sit i always say something like "come on wee wee" to re inforce what i want her to do and if she does we sing a little song which she really loves just a made up one "asha weed in the potty, what a good girl" etc etc shes really loving all the extra attention etc thats come with it and shes doing really well with it, like i said having very few accidents and some days without any at all..
