I'm a big kid now

Posted 1:34 PM on Sun-19-Feb-2012

Those of you that have been reading my blogs will know of the issues I have had with toilet training my eldest daughter. She is now 3 1/2 (will be 4 in July).This week it has finally clicked. We have had only one wee accident since Wednesday. She is taking herself off to the toilet so often I'm glad we don't have a water meter. She produces the tiniest wee and then dances around the house singing "I did wees, I did wees." We are even putting her down for her naps in her undies and a brolly sheet. She is so proud of herself and I finally feel like a normal mum. I am even taking her out without a nappy (and she used a porta-loo for the first time this morning). If you had said to me a week ago that she would be doing all her wees in the toilet (apart from night-time) I would have said that would be a miracle. I believe in miracles now. My husband had been saying that we might have the only child at school in nappies. Well that won't be happening now.Now to work on the poos. The bribery (I mean incentive) now is "A chocolate frog for a chocolate log."

We have had a week of no wee accidents and no nappies for afternoon sleeps either. Poos is another matter. Sometimes she just does it in her undies other times she takes herself off to the toilet. The incentive, other than chocolate, is that if she has a week of no poo accidents she doesn't have to wear a swim nappy. I am so proud of her. She has come such a long way in the last week.

Tonight for over half an hour after lights out she kept getting up and going to the toilet. A week ago she couldn't put the ladder seat on or flush the toilet but now she is a pro. It has given her much more confidence in other things too like riding her bike. I certainly notice there is a lot less washing . I don't get funny looks from people when we are out when they notice she has a nappy on (cloth nappies so they are bulkier).
