karma strikes...

keep perservering, we had this with kobe at the start too for a couple of days and i thought maybe i had started training a bit early but he came right and hasnt had any accidents since, fingers crossed.

Will continue - i figure it's summer, we have a new washing machine and he's outside most of the eimt anyway - at playcentre I was a little concerned by it was "water play" and that hides a multitude of sins.

I suffered the same fate Liz... but mine was more that Hannah absolutely refused to go to the toilet when I asked her... and letting her tell me just wasn't happening. Damn independent toddler.

Anyway, she has asked a few times over the last few weeks but like I said in another time, mostly flukes.

Keep on it though! It has to happen sometime!

And Han is a nudey rudey too... found quite a few puddles today. Too bad that it is mum's carpet.

Hi Liz, I started Hannah training right after her 2nd birthday too and although I felt like I was the one being trained in the first few weeks, she did finally get it yay! Took about 8 months from start to finish, after someone told me that from her experience (disappointing and long as it sounds) I think I relaxed a little and didn't expect so much to happen all in that first month.

Sounds like you're doing great with the stickers, maybe a bit more reminding? (but some kids just get stubborn ), otherwise just keep going

I could be wrong here but from what Ive read/been told/experienced if its taking that long to toilet train then they probably arent ready. I know with kobe i tried him about 3 months ago cos he started saying he wanted to go on the toilet and we werent going to discourage him but in all honesty he just wasnt ready and it think it was more a novelty. We left it for a bit and then started again 3 weeks ago when I decided it was warm enough and had enough time to devote to it and it was so much easier. The first week we had a couple of rough days, the second week we had on average one accident a day and the third week we have had no accidents at all and has even started being dry at night (but im not ready to risk no nappies there yet) we stopped nappies and pull ups completely except for sleep cos thats what most of the books i read said to do and its totally worked. I was worried about what we would do when we went out and about for the day etc... but in the end decided we couldnt just keep putting him in nappies to go out or he would never learn to hold his bladder for a little bit or learn to tell us he needs the toilet while in malls etc...
