Jsut a quick one to say that Sophia seems to have finally got it! She has done 4 wees and two poohs on her potty today! Long may it continue! Hoping that the reward chart, with two spots to go before she can go to a farm will encourage her to carry it on.

So proud of her, she seems to have suddenly grown up over night! She even washed her own hair today! Bless her!

Awww well done Sophia!
We are potty training as well, Charlie seem to love it. He's not napping during the day now either which is good as no break from it, but we do have a problem with other people helping him. Like he won't do it when at his childminders Friday mornings. N
I'm not really sure how to get around it, I'm not forcing anything just now as don't wanna push it too much. I'm hoping it just clicks and he will be ok with it in time!

That's brill Sophia, especially with a new bro.

Think you have the right idea Kell, I'm sure it won't be long x

Well done Sophia xx

We're practically there but Ellie still seems to enjoy pooping in her nics. These aren't accidents she just seems to prefer it!
HELP!

Pen, does she tell you she has pooped her nics? I would leave her in them until she tells you she has done it. Rewards charts seem to work for others? Although Immy still likes to poop her pants and she is 4, so maybe I am not the best person to offer advice! X

Welll she made it to the top of the chart today! So Grampa has been asked when he can go to the farm, hopefully in a week or so when NAnna is here!

She did really well again today, a couple of accidents and half in half outs on the potty but still all good!

Hmm, interesting u should say that Kell, hoping Sophia takes to it alright at nursery on Wednesday but hoping that four days doing it at home will be enough for him to continue it there.

So far Sophs has done well with the poop thing, wondering how she will take when we move on to usingthe toilet though! I spose it is a bit scary, all splashy! LOL

you've done a fab job getting it done with a newborn!! well done to you both!

ive just bought jamie a potty altho he wont take his pants off to sit on it yet..just sits on it fully dressed lol.. im just gonna keep it around the house to get him used to it and keep telling him what its for! also im thinking of going to the libary and getting a couple potty training books for him and me!

not gonna rush him though as thats when they end up going backwards when baby gets here apparently! im nervous to start it properly lol! x x

Yay well done Sophia.

I keep thinking I should get a potty to have around the house so Jamie gets used to it.

Lucy - we've got a book about pirate pete and his potty. Jamie loves it although I think only because it has a button and if you push it you hear cheering

Sophia loves that book too liberty!

You are right with the not pushing it thing. We tried a couple of times with her when she said she wanted to but the first time it made her scared of the potty so we stopped very quickly and the second time she went from occasionally using the potty to outright refusing to entertain the idea!

This time though, completely led by sophia. she had done a poo in her nappy but when i went to change her, (tmi) it was stuck so i suggested her sitting on her potty and pushing it out. She did the tiniest little rabbit dropping in the bottom and so i got out the reward chart i had made two months previously. And the next day, she just asked to use the potty and went on to have a whole day of using the potty pretty much on her own! So work all hers!

On day four now, had a little accident at soft play so put on pull up as playing was much too important to be thinking about wees, but apart from that, at home she used the potty four times, twice at bedtime.

Tomorrow will be the real test as she has nursery in the morning. Hopefully all will go well. She seemed quite excited about telling them about it and she mentioned about her best friend ther wearing knickers so she has an incentive to be like her friend.

At night, been putting pull ups on her and she has been dry all night, but needing pull up as she does quite a few wees before settling for the night, but have put potty in room for her to use. Hoping she will eventually just choose the potty each time.

Any night time advice guys?
