hi i know how u feel hun as my son is a lil monster when it come to the potty i suppose all we can do is prey they will do it in there own time and overcome that initial fear hope it goes well x
Hey, I leave my sons potty on the floor and say, wee wee potty. At first it was a hat, then a boat but suddenly he got it and just associated wee and potty and has been using it for a wee ever since. He's 25 months so not pushing him to get onto a poo yet!!

The book says no fluids after 6pm and to leave the potty in his room. Hope this helps x

My little girl has finally done it and is out of nappies. I used Gina Fords book "Potty training in one week" it was well worth the money as she now totally dry during the day and although she still has a nappy at night she has started waking up and asks to use the potty or toilet.
Any ideas on how to get my 3 year old out of his night nappies?x
