SITTING

. . . sounds so relaxing . . . but not when you're potty training . . . the walls are moving in . . . the pressure is intense . . . and the carpet's a little wet!!

We started on Friday at 4.30pm
  • 2 tiny accidents
  • 2 big Ps on the potty
  • 1 big Accident on the beanbag (thankfully covered by a disposable changing mat) and a look of horror on Alice's face
  • Another successful P on P
  • Overall - Friday was 50/50, pretty successful for the first day
Saturday
  • Started the day in training pull-ups that let Alice feel when she's had an accident, Alice obviously feels that they're nappies, several accidents through the first 2 hours but we kept them on as I HAD to go to the garage and we needed more Potty Training Supplies, W/R was useless - no disposable changing mats or Pull-ups in the right size! (I popped out and got the necessaries while M looked after Alice at naptime).
  • No accidents or success during the later morning or before naptime,
  • Loads of water (in a big girl glass with a straw) in the afternoon, a couple of tiny accidents on the carpet and several major successes (including a poo in the potty!!) Big successes helped by the incentive of chocolate - Alice caught on quickly and demanded 'Cho-cut' immediately after sitting down!
Sunday
  • No success first thing, quickly remembered Cho-cut
  • Bath followed by big accident while still wrapped in her towel on the changing mat
  • Now I'm pushing the water again!!!
  • 3 big accidents, 1 of poo where she dashed to the potty moments too late
  • 2 successes

For dd1 and now for dd2, I give one Smartie for a pee and two Smarties for a poop. Chock-it or Rock-lit is what it's called over 'ere. LOL

Mine go bare-bummed until it's done. The sitter (mornings only) helps by doing the same thing. No pressure. It helps when there is a big sister to watch and learn from. Just wait until you are doing this with #2 in a couple of years. You'll be a pro by then! :)

Good luck and remember the chock-it. ;)

Oh so jealous...I need a couple of days with no car needs to do this. She shows no incentive to try (and she is older than alice!).

I think I'll try it with smarties.

And big sister is no help. She sees, she watches, she has no desire to try!

You go girl (to both of you)!!!! I am in denial over potty training - I keep hoping it just happens on its own. Probably not a useful strategy. LOL

I agree with Gina. LOL!
