KATIE 0:1 POTTY TRAINING

So we started potty training on Monday...and now we're on a little break from it...it's Thursday :o)

It all started very well. I hadn't planned on starting just yet, but on Monday morning Beau voluntarily used the potty for the first time in ages, so I thought I'd go with it. We went and bought some "big boy pants" and another potty and went at it, guns blazing. We had one or two accidents on Monday, 

n o n e on Tuesday, yes that's right, NONE! Then on Wednesday, we nose dived. The morning started badly with three accidents before 11am. After the last one, Beau was reluctant to put big boy pants on, and was asking for a nappy instead. Up to this point he had been all for it with his pants "like daddy's" so it seemed a little odd that all of a sudden he was back peddling. I had been advised to go completely cold turkey with nappies (except at night and long car journeys) but my gut instinct told me to go with what he wanted. I didn't want to stress him out and put him off the idea completely, so on went the nappy.

How glad am I that I did that?? Pretty damn glad...an hour later as we were sat at the table eating lunch (nice setting for what was about to happen) Beau starts crying and saying "oh no, whats that in my nappy?" so I rushed him upstairs to find that he had a REAL bad upset tummy, which had somehow mostly bypassed the nappy and shot out of the leg hole...it was like having a newborn all over again! Bless his little heart, he obviously knew that pants were not a good idea that day and I'm so glad I trusted him. 

So we hit a little bump in the road with potty training, but we'll try again sometime soon. The seed has been sewn now, he knows about his big boy pants and was asking to do wee's on the potty a couple of times today so I figure when we do try again, it'll be a little easier than starting from scratch.

You got me this time, potty training, but when we meet again I'm taking you down!

And here are some cute photos of my boy from today

This is my lamb with his Nanna (my mummy) and his cousin The Squoof

And these are some selfies he took while I was chatting to my lovely friend Eleanor about a little business idea...watch this space baby wearers!
