Smile Blinkin Eck don't belive it but think we might have cracked the potty training!!!!!!!

I know I can't believe!! A couple of weeks ago after reading some replies to Stoneas post I took the bull by the horns.

We started by sneaking some water into a potty and then putting the dolly on then we would all leap about the room and giving the dolly loads of hugs and kisses and a pretend sweetie. Emptying the 'wee' into the toilet letting Fifi carry it there.

Then after a week of this I discarded the nappies and hoped for the best. Bought some knickers. Since we started 2 weeks ago we've had about 7 or 8 accidents. For the most part when she's been at home she's had no knickers, however, for the past 2 days she has and has come running up shouting "need a wee, need a wee" then turns round and heads of to the bathroom. When we go out fully change of clothes taken with us (including shoes learnt my lesson with Izzy) however so far no out of home accidents. Yet!

I really can't believe it - I really just tried to see but it seems to be working. Still in nappies at bedtime.

I'm so proud of her! She such a little angel.

Oh and since I'm having a proud mum moment, she can read her name and write the letter i, She also loves to put herself to bed!! LOL!

So on to the next thing - when do you take them out of the cot!!?????

Love to you all
Emma

Wow Emma

I am seriously impressed, she isn't even 2 yet, but sounds so advanced!

What a clever little girl!

Love

Oh wow well done that is good! My ds1 was a shocker, he was over 3 before he potty trained! DS2 was a lot better thankfully.

As for cots, my 2 had their cotbed turned into the bed part at about 2yrs I think.

Wow that is terriffic.

I took Ciaran out of his cot bed months ago as he started climbing out and having already had a very seriously broken elbow froma cot faller I couldn't take the risk. He loves his bed and although he got out for the first night or so he stopped after we wedged his door!! He now doesn't have his door shut and doesn't try to escape!!

OK, I'm not sure I like you any more (only KIDDING )

Gabriel peed on the carpet 3 times yesterday and he'll be 4 in August He is DREADFUL and there is no chance he could go without his pullups at night. I know they say boys are slower but still!!! His sisters were just 2 and potty trained so easily and quickly...

WTG Fifi, she is so clever, bright as a button!
