Toilet training scrapped...

As of lunchtime today I have decided to scrap trying to toilet train Ben. After that 1st day which seemed to go as expected for a 1st day, things have not progressed at all. All that has happened is Ben training me to put him on the potty at the time intervals that will mean his wee will end up in the potty and not in his pants. No amount of reminding or rewarding has resulted in him working out for himself when he needs to go and he is totally unconcerned about having wet pants (or poo pants, as was the case once today). So it's back to the world of nappies.

Hi Mel,
Don't be too disheartened. My first try with Danielle was a flop. I thought the signs were there but it just didn't work. All I got out of it was a wet floor.

But last week she started to want to go to the toilet on her own. She wouldn't wear a nappy. Thankfully she will wear pull-ups but there haven't been many wees.

Ben will get there. I'm just hoping things don't go backwards here as well.

*hug* Maybe he'll just have his little sister push him into it one day. :)

Thanks for the encouragement girls.

Toilet training has been lots of fun here *note sarcasm* lol

We started and stopped a few times until Brayden got the call up for Kindy and we canned the idea of pull ups and put him straight into undies and he has been making progress... slow but some progress.

He will stay dry when out (most of the time) but when at home, he can get forgetful...

Hope Ben will show more signs soon! We still have battles with Brayden - he's very stubborn and strong-willed but once in undies for the day, he's usually good - starting night training this summer - YIKES!!!
