Potty training day 2

Started off well, wees and a (TMI) huuuge poo on the potty. So I decided to push the boat out and put him in pants and trousers. I tried to show him how to push them down, but I think maybe I was moving too fast for him, and he had a wee accident not long after.

So back to a bare bum and he was great again, lots of wees - after each one he brings me the potty to wash out, looking so pleased with himself and saying "well DONE Jamie". We then decided to be really brave and go out to the park with him nappyless. It had rained all morning, so the park was basically a mud bath, and Jamie had a great time jumping in muddy puddles, running around, seeing the chickens and bunnies, and going on the slide. He was such a mess by the time we got back to the van that I couldn't honestly tell whether he'd wet himself or not, but on closer inspection I found that his pants were dry. Back home and into PJs, he had another wee accident when he was engrossed in doing a puzzle.







So all in all it's been another successful day, loads of wees and 2 poos on the potty, and only 2 accidents. AND we managed to leave the house! I think we still have a way to go - especially with getting him to tell us when he needs to go, and to be able to pull down his pants and trousers. The two accidents happened when he had clothes on his bottom half, so I'm wondering whether he thinks he still has a nappy on when he isn't bare bummed.

Anyway, we will get there I'm sure, and at least now I'll be able to say to his preschool that we have started and are trying!
