Potty Training ?
Sorry really don't get the chance to get on much now with work and trying to spend quality time with lo. I do pop on now and again to see how everyone is getting on, hope all is well with you and munchkins. See a few on FB though - helloo !!
Question: potty training.... anyone started yet? Lexi (21mths) has been dry in the morning for the past few weeks now and this morning when coming down for brekkie was shouting peepee, peepee! Not really showing too much interest in potty atm but pretends making peeing noisey etc. Anyhoo ran it past my friend (who has 5 munchkins) and she said to stop using night time nappies now just a pampers mat as she sounds ready and this will help with daytime potty training....... and words of wisdom please?
Thanks in advance, take care x

Maybe invest in more than one potty so you can jump in quickly with potential accidents.
Samuel has developed a terrible habit lately of wanting to stand up like a bloke and wee on the floor after I've taken his nappy off! I keeo telling him "in your nappy or in your potty darling - not on the floor!" but it doesn't work. I can tell he's about to do it as he concentrates and stares at his willy so I usually scoop in with a towel or clothes before the damage is done.
I don't tihnk Samuel will be late being PT as he's showing some signs already, but I think I'm holding off until he turns 2 the very at least. I prefer the idea of PT in the wamer months if poss, but some babies are ready much younger. I know an older toddler girl who was PT at 18 months, and girls can often communicate better, so that might make it easier too. Then again, I know another 3 year old girl who can't get to grips with PT at all. They're all different I guess!

Lara - MILs can be a pain sometimes. Mine used to go on about how my hubby and his bro slept through from day 1, and how she always wanted her children really close together (which I clearly couldn't have done with the sleep deprivation and PND in the early months). Talk about putting the pressure on. I think they just have selective memories!
