That's great
funny how you can be so proud of a child for using a toilet
My little guy had previously done his 'number 2' on the toilet so it wasn't fully new to him but for the first week he only went around every 3 days. I was a bit worried but he seems to be back to more or less daily now so hopefully it'll sort itself in time for you!0 -

So proper day 1 was today and I have cabin fever from being indoors all day. I am also wrecked. No idea how many accidents but maybe 5?? And did 3 or 4 pees on loo no poo yet. I put a nappy on for naps. Got him ladder seat....he went hysterical so is using potty.
I feel like giving up!!!!!!!!! The thoughts of staying at home all day tomorrow

I swear I was so tempted to put a nappy on him and even just go to tesco!!!!!!!! I am not feeling great myself he just did another pee out in the garden
I know the feeling, I gave up the first time around. One thing that helped my daughter was to see other children using the potty. My friend brought her two wee ones around one day and when my daughter saw them use her potty, I think it was the catalyst to get her going. Is there anyone you could ask around and go on and on about how great and big they are using the potty.0 -
The little girl at his minders who is a week younger than him is toilet trained. He told me a few months ago she was using the potty. Loads of his friends are toilet trained but he doesn't bat an eyelid in fact they have to leave game to pee whereas he keeps playing because in nappy! Tbh I feel rotten that it's probably not the best time for at the mo but I have to keep going. He needs to be toilet trained by sept we are on hols for first two weeks in august so only 2 weeks before Montessori.
May I just say dogs are amazing they get toilet trained so young and in no time
I am shocked that they didn't get peed on today!!!!! 0 -

The garden doesn't count.
I'm on week 2 and he's doing well. But if he is out playing the the garden he will just wee in the bushes or poo himself, he won't come in. He also doesn't like going for babysitter but much better for me. But in the house he's good and out and about he's good.0 -

I don't know if he is even getting it he doesn't like getting wet. He just comes in takes shoes and socks out and either tells me he needs a tissue or he needs a shower!
He sounds like he's not ready. I wouldn't push it. I know you are on a timeline for September but could you talk to them? It's really not fair on him pushing it if he's not ready. He could end up with issues with constipation etc. A couple of months can make a big difference. I honestly believe they can train in a few days if they are truly ready so I would take a break. Go back to nappies but keep the potty out and maybe encourage him to sit on it while you and your other half are on the toilet. I'd 'check' his nappy really often while he's playing so he's getting his play interrupted as often as he would if he was using the toilet to use that as a deterrent.0 -

I will not push him. Gosh I thought he was ready considering some people would say they had loads more accidents but still persevered? Sure all you need to do is read this thread! I was going to see how tomorrow goes. He has been telling me when he has wet or dirty nappies since December! If not fully toilet trained monte said he can still go but tbh I will keep him with minder. I am not feeling well myself so am probably being over negative. He was delighted when he peed in potty and didn't want to wear nappy to bed. I agree a few months is huge 0 -
Update on day 2 had 2 accidents this morning (had undies on) .....was ready to give up! Then went on potty by himself and peed straight away (no undies on)
Then put undies on and he had accident put another pair of undies on and he walked out to garden pulled his "equipment" out of leg of undies and peed on grass lol
Long morning he is up since 7!!!!!!
He can't pull down undies by himself should I leave them off? He likes wearing them0 -

My guy was looking a bit shifty in hall and wouldn't let anyone in so I shoved his potty out. (Thought he was going to do a number 2!) anyway he wouldn't even let dogs into hall. He did a wee in potty then poured it in loo
Cunning that is great about your guy I messaged monte teacher and she said if toilet training isn't working don't worry and we can try again after he settles in monte. Tbh I was going to delay him starting if not trained.
Livingsane my guy won't sit on potty or loo. We went to tesco and bought two special trucks which were for him as he was a big boy and was going to use potty. He sits on potty now but not toilet!0 -

...Am on poop watch now the past hour. I know hes waiting to do one as soon as he's on his own! He literally only needs a half a minute window to do it, lol.
Lets see if he can slip one past us again this evening....
My guy just did number 2 in potty 1 potty is now in hall. He wants privacy
Cunning can't remember are you using potty....could you put it somewhere to give him privacy?
My guy will only 2 number 2s by himself. He used to go into his playhouse close all shutters and doors and do it in nappy 0 -

Yep, we have a potty, but as soon as I take it out for him and suggest he use it, he tells me flat out NO, he doesn't want to know about it. So he has been doing his wees on the toilet with one of those toddler seat things.
But the hubby and I were just discussing that we might leave the potty around anyway and just tell him its there if he wants to use it. No harm.0 -

I think my guy is trying to figure out whether to sit or stand for pees! Went out to hall stood up and did a massive pee beside potty (some went into potty).
Glad day 2 is over 0 -

Tickingclock I put on those babydry pants and told him they were "bedtime pants" he turned around to me and said "no they're not pants that's a nappy"!!!!!!!!
I am kind of following the 3 day method but not a night/naps. They suggest no nappies and u set alarm and wake them. I am too wrecked to even try that
Can't wait for tomorrow I am going out by myself and OH is under strict potty instructions!!!! I have warned him not to put a nappy on him! He has worked yesterday and today so has missed all the stress of training.
I don't know whether to put undies on him or off?????0 -

While I was out (oh minding) he peed and pooed in pants
Since me coming back there has been 2 pees in potty and one in garden.
Was talking to friend who is toilet training 2 weeks ahead of me and using pull ups. Basically the boy wears them all day but gets put on potty when parents thinks he needs to go. Dry floors all round
Seems like a much easier and not as messy solution?0 -

Sounds a bot confusing to the child?
(Coming from the person who hadn't even started training yet!)0 -

Pooped himself again today met me at thekitchen door with a big grin. I actually got thick and told him mammy and daddy are not cleaning any more poop out of underpants, so he has to do it on the loo in future. Not the way to go, I know. I felt bad afterwards. Its just stressful now, that we are so close but so far!
One week left before we have to hand him back to daycare again and if hes only trained for doing wee on the loo, I think they will want him back in nappies!
Hoping for a miracle here!0
