Well i have put Jack in undies (His favorite Thomas the tank) today to see how we go.  We have had 2 wee's in our pants so far.  If he has accidents all through the first few days do you think he's not ready?  The potty is in the lounge so he can see it and can use it any time but he freaks out a little if you mention it.  After each accident i have sat him on it but he hasnt done anything and he didnt enjoy sitting on it.

He looks quite hapy and if he does a wee or poo in his nappy he will come and tell us by holding the front of his nappy and saying 'Ak' so he knows when he is wet, dirty and un-comfortable.

Love Trudi.  xx

I think a few people may have different views on this. 

In my opinion I think if he is having accidents all day long, leave him and try him again in a couple of weeks. Harrison didn't like the potty full stop.  He wouldn't go no where near it.  So we had to use the toilet from day one.  Was hard work keep going up and down the stairs umpteen times a day but we got there..in the end

Good luck. I think there are so many schools of thought on this that its best to go with your instincts. I have a potty and a toilet seat for Eds and he knows what they are for but certainly isnt ready to use them yet.

My friend is in the middle of potty training her (very inteligent) 2 year old who announced one monday morning 'No more nappies mummy'! Nicola was devestated as after going through it once with her eldest was planning on waiting til the summer. She asks her regaully if she needs a weewee and takes her off for a story on the potty then they wave byebye to weewee as it is flushed away.

Good luck and I hope it goes ok.

Dosen't look like he's quite ready yet. Aren't girls meant to be quicker than boys though ?

I'm dreading doing Adam as his daddy is away Mon-Fri and I aint showing him how to pee standing up !!!
