Potty training is going rather well, Poppy seems to be getting the hang of it so hopefully, apart from at night, nappies could soon be a thing of the past. She has started to ask when she needs to use the potty and Em tells me that this morning she suddenly realised she needed a poo, rushed to the bathroom shouting "quick Mommy, get my nappy off, I need a poo"!! (This was before she was dressed so was still wearing her bedtime nappy) She even sat on the toilet with her toddler seat on it, something she has not been keen on before, and was very pleased when she finished successfully! Em said her face was a picture and Poppy told her she was "plopping"!
Em and I went to visit Michelle and the boys yesterday, taking the potty with us. She tried Poppy on her potty a couple of times, an action which had the boys in fits of laughter and cries of "no, no, not by me" but she did not manage a wee. We half expected it to happen on the car seat on the way home but it didn`t and she managed to hold on until Emma had dropped me off, had a cup of tea and Poppy a drink of juice and some rainbow drops, then went home to see her Daddy. She certainly has much better bladder control than me! She can wait for hours before the need arises! Lee noticed her wriggling and asked her if she needed to use the potty and she said yes, so looks like she is winning. We all have to high five her each time she succeeds, and she told me on the phone she had weed in the potty, sounding very proud. Takes time, and patience and ofcourse the child has to learn to recognise the feeling of needing to go, and to recognise it in time to get there! Bless her, high five Poppy! x
